What else can I help you with?
Why would it be more beneficial to have a star chart rather than a compass if you were lost on the moon?
It would be more beneficial to have a star chart than a compass because a compass only works on earth. The compass uses the magnetic field that is generated by the north side of the earth. On the moon, there is no strong magnetic field on the north side, making a compass useless in finding your way back.
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 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.
What magnet use in the compass?
non the compass uses the earths magnetic field that is why the north pole and south pole is the most important directions because the north and south pole have the most highest magnetic feilds
How does a compass needle respond when a compass is placed with a magnetic field?
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
How does a compass needle respond when a compass is placed in a magnetic field?
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
What direction does the magnetic needle of a compass point to?
The magnetic needle of a compass points towards the Earth's magnetic North Pole.
What was franciscos Pizarros technolagy?
he used an astrolabe and most importantly a magnetic compass
How can a magnet be used to find direction?
basically in a compass is a needle which is magnetic. The magnetic field of Earth attracts the north pole of the magnet (which is the needle in the compass) to the north pole of Earth. Same thing goes for the south pole of Earth
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.
