If you didn't know a compass uses a magnet to direct its needle all the way to the north poll, pretty cool right?
If you're trying to learn about your own magnet:
The side the is attracted and points to the north is called the north pole, and on the the other side is the south pole, and Its the same with the other directions, wanna go west? No problem! It will face east.
Magnets are very helpful in telling you which way to like as we just stated.
Side note: So sorry if this didn't help!
If it did please comment on this so I can know! :)

∙ 13y agoA compass can mean two things (one in mathematics and one for the great out door)
A compass is very useful if you want to go in an exact direction (North, South, East, West) But it dose have some flaws. You see the earth has magnetic field and the magnetic force strengthens at the North and South pole. So the compass point towards it. Impressive right!
Anyway the flaws are other magnetic metals can get in the way such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. The compass thinking it's the points of the direction of the metal, oops.
