Why does a compass needle point north?
|
|
The Earth is like a huge magnet with a force field that covers its whole surface. The poles of the magnet are near the North and South Poles. Magnetised objects - such as compass needles are drawn to these poles. Therefore one end of a compass needle will always point north.
