It is because,the earth is 66 & a half degrees tilted.
The magnetic North Pole, located in the Arctic Ocean, has the most magnetic pull on Earth. It is the point where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards.
Acceleration due to gravity is due to the force of gravitation exerted on a body by the earth. All bodies get attracted towards the centre of the earth. So the acceleration is always pointed vertically downwards.
Gravity.Correction:The Earth's rotation has nothing to do with gravity and vice versa. One notices the earth's rotation in the rising and setting of the moon, sun, planets and stars.
The direction of the strongest gravitational force in my office is toward the center of the Earth ... the direction I call "down". I don't have a classroom.
The North Magnetic Pole, which is where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards, is located in the northern hemisphere. It is currently situated in the Arctic Ocean, near the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
Water flows downwards due to Earth's gravity.
Yes, there is a difference. The magnetic North Pole is where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards, while the geographic North Pole is the northernmost point on the Earth's surface. Similarly, the magnetic South Pole is where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically upwards, while the geographic South Pole is the southernmost point on the Earth's surface.
The day/night cycle results from the Earth rotating.
Because we have only one sun in our solar system, because Earth is roughly spherical (like a ball), and because light almost always travels in straight lines (except for a little bit of refraction caused by our atmosphere), the sun is always shining on half of Earth, where it is daytime, while the other half of Earth is in Earth's shadow (nighttime). Since Earth is always rotating on its axis, part of the line between the daytime half and the nighttime half is rotating into Earth's shadow and part of the line is rotating out of Earth's shadow into the sunlight. At the places that are rotating into the sunlight, the sun appears to be rising, and at the places that are rotating into darkness, the sun appears to be setting.
After crossing a hurdle, the direction of body weight is downward, towards the Earth, due to gravity. The body weight acts vertically downwards, providing stability and support as the individual lands on the ground.
The idea that the Earth itself acts as a giant magnet was first proposed in 1600 by the English physician and natural philosopher William Gilbert. He was also the first to define the North Magnetic Pole as the point where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards.
