No.
The Earth is a spinning sphere, and the axis of the rotation matches the Earth's surface at the north pole and the south pole. If the Earth had an axle, that's where they would poke out.
The Earth is also a giant magnet, like an enormous bar magnet. The orientation of this magnet, and the magnetic lines of force from it, are not lined up with the physical axis of the Earth's rotation. The "north magnetic pole" is somewhere in northern Canada, while the south magnetic pole is in Antarctica.
When navigating with a magnetic compass, the compass doesn't point at the north pole; it points to the north MAGNETIC pole. In most of Europe, there wasn't a whole lot of difference, but in North America, the difference between true and magnetic north can be dozens of degrees. Navigational maps will list lines of "magnetic variation", which is the difference between true north and magnetic north, so that you can apply the appropriate correction.

Where does the south pole a compass magnet points?
The north of the compass points to Earth's magnetic south pole, which is to the north.
What layer acts like a giant magnet and what does it attract?
The Earth's magnetic field is like a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the north pole and the other near the south pole.
What is Aurora counterpart role?
There's an Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) at the north magnetic pole and an Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) at the south magnetic pole.
How was a compass made?
Lets see the concept. With the discovery of magnet, many travelers began using it for navigation. This is because the magnetic south pole always points in the north direction and the magnetic north pole always points in the south direction. Correction The end of the compass needle that points to the North is a north pole, and the end that points to the South is a south pole.
Why are auroras are seen mostly near the north and south pole?
because their is a magnetic force
Did Magnetic Pole gets its name from North Pole and South Pole?
no
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
The end of a bar magnet which points to the south magnetic pole is the?
If, by 'south magnetic pole', you means 'Magnetic South', then the answer is the magnet's south pole. On the other hand, if you are referring to a south magnetic polairty, then the answer is the magnet's north pole.
How are the southpole and the south magnetic pole different?
The "South Pole" (and the North Pole) is the axis about which the earth rotates. The "South Magnetic Pole" has nothing to do with the South Pole other than they are located within the Antarctic Circle. All magnets have a North and South Pole, the "South Magnetic Pole" and the "North Magnetic Pole" are the opposite ends of the earth's magnetic field.
The earth is meaning it has 2 poles?
The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.
What pulls the South Pole of a magnetic compass?
The south pole of a magnetic compass is pulled towards the Earth's north magnetic pole, and away from Earth's south magnetic pole. Or towards and away the corresponding poles of any other magnet. Note that Earth's NORTH magnetic pole is close to the SOUTH pole.
Which magnetic pole is attracted to a south magnetic pole?
North.
What does magnets have?
They have a North Magnetic Pole and a South Magnetic Pole.
Is the magnetic pole near north or south?
Both, there ia a North and South Magnetic pole.
What are the three magnetic poles?
The Geographical South Pole, The Magnetic South Pole and The Southern Pole of Inaccessibility.
Are there more there one pole?
Yep. The north obviously, and the south. Additionally, you'll have the North Pole and South Pole proper, as well as the North Magnetic Pole and South Magnetic Pole.
Where does the south pole a compass magnet points?
The north of the compass points to Earth's magnetic south pole, which is to the north.
