What is the definition of vertical in math?

The definition of vertical is dependent of the scale. On a small scale, it means going straight up, at right angles to the [levelled] surface of the earth at that point. Alternatively, going up the page. Because the earth is approximately spherical, the vertical direction at he equator is different from the vertical direction at the North Pole. On that scale, one could consider the line joining the South Pole to the North Pole as the vertical. But that definition fails when you consider the earth over its orbit. So you could define it in terms of the North and South poles of the sun. But the sun itself is not stationary and so on.


Why does the needle of a compass point south when it's put on a bar magnet?

When a compass needle is placed near a bar magnet, it aligns itself with the magnetic field created by the magnet. The compass needle is a small magnet itself, with its north pole attracted to the south pole of the bar magnet and repelled by its north pole. If the compass needle points south, it indicates that the bar magnet's south pole is near the compass's north pole, demonstrating the fundamental property of magnetic attraction and repulsion. Thus, the orientation of the compass needle reflects the magnetic field direction of the bar magnet.
