How can a magnetic compass be used to find directions on Earth?
Due to earth's spinning and rotation, it also behave as a magnet. That's why compass (magnetic needles) show directions as alike poles attracts and like repel each otherg

Yes !! But its negligible.

How are Earth and Jupiter alike?
They both have storms such as ( lightning and swirling clods)
How are Earth's magnetic force and the magnetic force of a bar magnet alike?
They both consist of "magetic flux," which is the invisible field that surrounds a magnetized body. This is why a compass-needle points North: i.e. it aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, since opposite magnetic charges attract each other; and essentially, a compass-needle is simply a small bar-magnet.
