Where was the magnetic compass made?
china
Which invention is more important the astrolabe or the magnetic compass why?
In my opinion I think the magnetic compass is more important because It made worldwide travel easier and encouraged more exploration.
Who invented the magnetic compass.?
The magnetic compass was made in China the second century AD. The Norse seamen of around 900 AD had magnetite rock that they used as a magnetic compass.
When was the magnetic compass made?
In the twelfth century AD.
What century was the magnetic compass made in?
3rd century.
When was the first magnetic compass invented?
The magnetic compass is an old Chinese invention, first made in China. but the first was made in the Qin dynasty in 221-206 BC
Is gyrosyn compass a combination of magnetic compass and artificial horizon?
No,a Gyrosyn compass is a combination of a Magnetic compass and Direct reading compass.
Why does a compass needle change direction when it is near a magnetic field?
Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.
Will a compass always work?
No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass. A magnetic compass reacts to magnetic fields; the magnetic south pole of Earth is not exactly at the geographic north pole, so at some points of the Earth's surface, the magnetic compass will actually point south instead of north. Also, a magnetic compass will be influenced by other magnetic fields, e.g., current-carrying wires.No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass.

What are compass needles made from?
Compass needles are typically made from a lightweight material such as steel or aluminum. These materials are magnetized to align with the Earth's magnetic field, allowing the needle to point towards magnetic north.
When was the Chinese magnetic compass invented or made?
To invent something you have to make it. It was invented.
What instrument is used for determining direction?
A compass. The North magnetic pole is in the direction of the N on the compass. Therefore, the North magnetic pole is in fact a magnetic field south pole since it *attracts* the north magnetic field pole of the compass magnet.
