Earth's magnetic field can make magnets out of ferromagnetic material and it affects the movements of electrically charged particles in space.
Bringing two magnets close together allows us to observe the magnetic effects due to their interaction, which is governed by the magnetic fields they generate. Each magnet has areas of magnetic influence called poles (north and south), and when they are near each other, their fields interact, resulting in attraction or repulsion. This interaction illustrates fundamental principles of magnetism and helps us understand how magnetic forces operate in various applications. Without proximity, the magnetic fields would not significantly affect each other, making their effects undetectable.
The two are related because an Electric current produces Magnetic Fields
Changing electric fields create magnetic fields, and changing magnetic fields create electric fields. This relationship is described by Maxwell's equations. The two fields are interdependent and can propagate through space as electromagnetic waves.

In the context of magnetic fields, parallel alignment means that the magnetic fields of two objects are pointing in the same direction, while antiparallel alignment means they are pointing in opposite directions.
They will combine to make a single magnetic field.
Opposing magnetic fields interact by repelling each other. When two magnetic fields are facing each other in opposite directions, they will push away from each other due to their like poles repelling. This phenomenon is known as magnetic repulsion.
Variations in the Earth's magnetic field can lead to shifts in the location and strength of the field, which can impact navigation systems like compasses. Changes in the magnetic field can also influence the behavior of charged particles in the Earth's magnetosphere, potentially affecting phenomena like the auroras.
An electromagnetic wave is made up of electric and magnetic fields.

Torque is developed by, among other things as well, the magnetic attraction or repulsion of two magnetic fields, contributing through rotational leverage to produce a net torque.
Two fields in a light wave are the electric field and the magnetic field. These fields oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation of the light wave.
