Because if you need to use your compass to figure out which direction is north,then you need to know by how much the direction the compass points is wrong,and which way. That's the magnetic declination.
when you are close to the magnetic north pole, the declination will be so variable and unpredicatable that a magnetic compass becomes all but useless. You also need to consider the effect of local magnetic anomalies and polar wandering. felicity knows whats up<3
Inclination is measured as the angle at which the satellite crosses the equator while passing from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. Declination is the difference between magnetic North as reported by a compass and true North.
The angle between the geographic and magnetic poles extends more towards the east, as you move to the north. The magnetic pole is actually near Greenland.
Between 14 and 16 degrees East, depending on location (16 degrees on the coast, 14 near Ontario)
The difference between True North and the direction that a magnetic compass points for a given location. Example: the magnetic declination for Seattle, Washington per the NOAA is 16° 55' east (as of 04/2010). This means that magnetic north is predicted at 16° 55'east of True North at that time.
To calculate the magnetic bearing, you would subtract the declination from the true bearing if the declination is east, or add the declination if the declination is west. In this case, since the declination is 8 degrees east, you would subtract the declination from the true bearing of 180 degrees. Magnetic bearing = True bearing - Declination Magnetic bearing = 180 degrees - 8 degrees Magnetic bearing = 172 degrees

Assuming the subject is magnetic declination the difference between the north pole and the true north pole this difference, is the magnetic declination, there is not information on what purpose it serves.
Magnetic Declination
12E
The magnetic declination in Jasper, Alberta, Canada is approximately 18 degrees east. This means that magnetic north is 18 degrees east of true north in this location.
magnetic variation
The magnetic declination of Spokane Valley is approximately 16 degrees east. This means that magnetic north is about 16 degrees east of true north in that location.
