The magnetic north pole, where compass needles point, is about 1,200 miles south and is where geomagnetic field lines are vertical. Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy ...

Without the effects caused by the spinning Earth, the magnetic fields generated within the liquid core would cancel one another out and result in no distinct north or south magnetic poles.

In normal convention, the outgoing field lines are magnetic north and the incoming field lines are magnetic south. In the case of the Earth, sometimes to avoid confusion with geographic north ...

A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S ...

Earth is similar to a magnet bar and the north and south poles represent the two sides. The invisible magnetic field lines encircle the planet between the North and the South. This magnetic field ...

The magnetic field is shown by lines with arrows that point from north to south. You can tell how old some coins are by testing them with a magnet. 5p and 10p coins made before January 2012 are ...

Some animals that migrate across the globe, such as birds, salmon, lobsters and sea turtles, are known to navigate using the magnetic field lines that stretch from Earth's North to South Pole.
