A compass contains a magnetized needle that aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, indicating the direction of magnetic north. It typically also features a rotating dial or bezel marked with cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and degrees for precise navigation. Some compasses may include additional features like a sighting mechanism or a liquid-filled casing to stabilize the needle.
