Why would magnetic declaration be different for different locations on the earth?
First of all, we're pretty sure that you're referring to "variation", not "declaration".Magnetic variation is the difference between the direction from you to the north pole (called "true north"), and the direction in which your magnetic compass points.That difference changes with your position on earth, because the north pole and theplace your compass points to are two different places. If you were standing at the point that's exactly halfway between them, then your compass would point exactly away from the north pole. And if you're not between them, but you're standing on the extension of the line between them, then your compass it pointing at the north pole, because both points are in the same direction from you.If you look at a navigational map, you will see lines of magnetic variation printed on the map. If you read your magnetic compass and apply the magnetic variation (printed on the map), you can calculate the direction of TRUE north.
What is the magnetic disturbance on the sun's surface called?
These magnetic disturbances are known as magnetic storms.
What is the angular distance of the horizon below the plane of observation caused by the curvature of the earths surface called?
The angular distance of the horizon below the plane of observation caused by the curvature of the Earth's surface is called the dip angle.
What is the period of difference between the lunar and solar year called?
The period of difference between the lunar and solar year is called the epact. This is the time it takes for the moon to return to the same phase relative to the sun, which is approximately 19 solar years.
Difference between angular motion and circular motion?
the process in which body moves around its axis and covers certain angle then this motion is called angular motion.
How is magnetic declination measured in the northern hemisphere?
It is measured exactly the same in the Southern hemisphere (no difference between the two hemispheres). It is the difference between magnetic north and true north and it varies all over the globe. Magnetic declination (also called magnetic variation) is positive when magnetic north is east of true north (clockwise) and it is negative when magnetic north is west of true north (anti-clockwise).
What is the potential difference between two points in a circuit is called?
Voltage drop
The angle of difference between the geographic and magnetic poles is called the declination How does the declination change as you move north from where you live?
The angle between the geographic and magnetic poles extends more towards the east, as you move to the north. The magnetic pole is actually near Greenland.
What is an angular joint?
An angular joint is a joint that changes the angle between two bones without gliding or rotary movement. It is also sometimes called a hinge joint.

What is the difference between magnetic track and magnetic heading followed by airplanes?
Magnetic track refers to the actual direction an airplane is traveling over the ground, while magnetic heading refers to the direction the airplane's nose is pointing based on the magnetic compass. The difference between the two is called the drift angle, which results from winds affecting the airplane's trajectory. Pilots use both magnetic track and heading information to navigate accurately.
How does true north relate to sailing?
When sailing a course magnetic bearings are used. However there is a difference between magnetic north and true north called the magnetic variation, this changes year by year and can be a very significant figure depending on your position. It is important therefore to know this to ascertain ones true course.
Do black holes have a magnetic charge?
A black hole can have an electric charge if it swallows electrically charged objects, but no objects that we know of have magnetic charge. Magnets always have both a north pole and a south pole; there is no evidence that one can exist alone. A lone north or south pole would be called a magnetic monopole, and would have magnetic charge. If we discovered a magnetic monopole and fed it to a black hole then the black hole would gain the magnetic charge.
What do we call the force that surrounds magnetic objects?
The force that surrounds magnetic objects is called a magnetic field. This field is responsible for the attractive and repulsive forces experienced between magnets and magnetic materials.
What is the name of the force between two magnets?
The force between two magnets is called magnetic force.
What is the difference between succeeding terms called?
The difference between succeeding terms in a sequence is called the common difference in an arithmetic sequence, and the common ratio in a geometric sequence.
