Magnetic field is made up of magnetic lines.
A magnetic field line shows the direction a compass needle would point

Ancient pottery shows movement of the earth's magnetic field. Firing the pottery fixes the ambient magnetic field in the fired pottery.
Well you could either directly measure the magnetic field produced by the electromagnet. Something as simple as a compass shows the presence of a magnetic field. Or you could measure the electric current induced by the magnetic field.
This shows the field lines around a disk magnet where the North pole is at the top. This shows the magnetic field strength around the disk magnet. Again, it is strongest in the corners, not in the center of the poles! The magnetic field is weakest in the middle of its poles!
The magnetic field collapses to zero, then builds up again for the current in the opposite direction.
The optical microscope uses a magnetic field to magnify images up to 1,000.000

Have you ever seen a magnet? Did you see the field? There you go. While you can't see the field itself directly, you can see the effects of the field if you use iron filings or something like that; they'll line up with the magnetic field lines
The earth's magnetic field is caused by convection currents in our core. The core is made out of iron, which is a magnetic metal.
