magnetic north

The earth has its own magnetic north and south poles.

The orientation of the post was set according to magnetic north.

Of course, with too much friction it will not be able to move into the magnetic north direction.

And what time is that on the magnetic north pole of Mars?

Along this line, true north is the same as magnetic north.

The survey here also was done to magnetic north rather than true north.

The direction a compass needle points is known as magnetic north.

The needle declined to make up its mind as to what magnetic north was on this planet.

The true position of magnetic north constantly bobbles around a bit.

True magnetic north, as measured by compasses, is several hundred miles to the east.

Using standard instrumentation, it is in reference to the local magnetic north direction.

This may have been because the magnetic north pole wanders slightly over thousands of years.

It's no surprise that more and more people are being drawn to the magnetic north.

Like a compass moving toward magnetic north, George readies himself for the wedding.

There's no good reason for magnetic north to be the same as true north on a pulsar, either.

In this study, the participants were provided with the direction of magnetic north as a vibration on their waist.

Wouldn't have thought that would be particularly useful unless your entire body responded to magnetic north.

Okay, so I had to move magnetic north... to left.

True, a compass needle indicates the direction of the magnetic north pole.

The magnetic North Pole, used by a compass, is not affected.

It also has magnetic north and south poles, based on the planet's magnetic field.

To all intents and purposes, though, magnetic north remains north.

The position of the point relative to your position using magnetic north is:

An important concept is that the compass card should not turn, even though it appears to always "swing" to magnetic north.

The magnetic North Pole is responsible for more than just the direction a compass points.
