ALL magnets are the result of moving electrons. A simple copper coil carrying an electric current demonstrates the simplest form.
Permanent magnets are those materials in which a number of the electrons share a similar spin.
Commonly reference is made to the magnetic loops of plasma on the surface of the Sun, but at a temperature of over 50 000 deg C, there are no magnetic materials. These magnetic fields are the result of electric currents flowing near the surface of the sun.
The magnetic field of the Earth is generated by electric currents flowing roughly parallel with the equator. or rather, the net result of many electric currents flowing around the Earth - probably in the magma.
But the ordinary permanent magnets are indeed made of particular elements in which the 'magnetic domains' may be aligned in parallel.

Is planet made of magnets?
no its made of magnetic materials
What magnets are made from materials which retain their magnetic properties for a long time?
Permanent magnets.
Which materials can magnets be made from?
Iron, nickel, and cobalt are used to create permanent magnets.
Why are magnets useful for separating materials to be recycled?
They pick up only certain materials and can be used to separate them.
What is a magnet made from a material that easily losses its magnetism?
Magentic materials are mainly of three types. 1) Diamagnetic materials 2) Paramagnetic materials 3) Ferromagnetic materials Diamagnetic meterials are those that do not have megnetic property. Para magnets can be used as temporary magnets Ferro magnetic materials are tose which are permanent magnets. The magnets made from magnets that easily lose their magnetis catue are paramagnets.
What kind magnets are made from materials which retain their magnetic properties for a long time?
Permanent magnets.
What are the three materials that can be made into magnets?
Cobalt, Nickel, and lead
Earth itself can make magnets out of ferromagnetic materials?
Ferromagnetic materials are made of iron. Iron can be magnetized with proximity to other magnets. The core of the Earth is magnetic. As a result, magnets can be created without interference.
Why can earth itself make magnets out of ferromagnetic materials?
Ferromagnetic materials are made of iron. Iron can be magnetized with proximity to other magnets. The core of the Earth is magnetic. As a result, magnets can be created without interference.
Are ferromagnetic materials weakly attracted to magnets?
No, ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to magnets. Ferrimagnetic materials are weakly attracted to magnets.
Uses for temporary magnets?
To separate materials made of metal in the scrap yard.
Why does the magnet stick to the refrigerator?
Because most refrigerators are made of ferromagnetic materials, and ferromagnetic materials are attracted to magnets.
