Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the equator of near the south pole?
The magnetic field is stronger at the poles.
Why is a North Pole of a compass attracted to the North Pole of the Earth?
actually the north pole of our earth(considering it as a big bar magnet) is the geographic south pole.Its called so because it lies on the northern hemisphere.Actually it is the south pole of our big bar magnetAdditional AnswerThe north magnetic pole of a compass needle points to Magnetic North. "Magnetic North" is so-called to differentiate it from "True North", and has nothing whatsoever to do with its magnetic polarity. Actually, the magnetic polarity of Magnetic North is a south pole which, because unlike poles attract, attracts the north pole of the compass needle.
Are the locations of the magnetic South Pole and the geographic North Pole near Antarctica or the Arctic?
Anything north is Arctic, anything south is Antarctic.
Where is magnetic north?
'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are locationsrelatively close to 'True North' and 'True South' which mark the earth's axis of rotation. The terms 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are used to differentiate their locations from those of 'True North' and 'True South'. They have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the magnetic polarities of these locations. In fact, the magnetic polarity of 'Magnetic North' is a south pole, and the magnetic polarity of 'Magnetic South' is a north pole. This is why the earth's magnetic field leaves at 'Magnetic South' and enters at 'Magnetic North', causing a compass needle to point along the lines of magnetic flux towards 'Magnetic North'.
Why do you need two North Poles?
== == Earth happens to have two North poles, but it is not necessary. * The geographic north pole is one of the two places where the axis of rotation meets the surface. All planets and stars have one geographic north pole and one geographic south pole. * The north magnetic pole is the point where the magnetic field points directly down, and the south magnetic pole is the point where the magnetic field points directly up. Earth happens to have one magnetic north pole and one magnetic south pole at the moment. Mars doesn't have any magnetic poles. Our sun often has dozens of magnetic north and magnetic south poles in or near its sunspots.
What two south magnetic poles brought near each other?
Two south (or two north) magnetic poles will repel each other. A south and north pole will attract each other.
Is the magnetic pole near north or south?
Both, there ia a North and South Magnetic pole.
What is true about Earth's magnetic field?
It is strongest near the north and south magnetic poles.
Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the equator of near the south pole?
The magnetic field is stronger at the poles.
Why are auroras are seen mostly near the north and south pole?
because their is a magnetic force

Is the magnetic pole near the Earths true North Pole a magnetic south pole or a magnetic north pole?
Earths geographic North Pole is also currently a magnetic north pole. This is however not always the case because over geological time scales the Earth's magnetic poles flip as a result of changes of flow in Earth's molten core which produces Earth's magnetic field.
Are the locations of the magnetic South Pole and the geographic North Pole near Antarctica or the Arctic?
Anything north is Arctic, anything south is Antarctic.

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 atmospheric layer acts like a giant magnet and what does 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.
