Why would magnetic compass not work in space?
A magnetic compass depends on Earth's magnetic field for orientation. In space, there is no magnetic field to interact with, so a magnetic compass would not be useful for navigation. Other orientation systems, like gyroscopes or star tracking sensors, are used instead in space.

Why would a magnetic compass not work in space?
A magnetic compass relies on Earth's magnetic field to indicate direction, which is absent in the vastness of space. In space, there are no magnetic field lines to align the compass needle, rendering it ineffective. Additionally, the microgravity environment can affect the compass's operation, further complicating its use beyond Earth's atmosphere.
