A compass typically consists of a magnetic needle that aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, a dial or card marked with cardinal directions (North, South, East, West), and a housing that allows the needle to rotate freely. Some compasses may also include a sighting mechanism or a level for improved accuracy. The combination of these components enables users to determine direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles.
