What else can I help you with?
Direction a compass point on the moon?
It would Align itself with the earth's megnetic field if the moon's core is solid (no one knows whats a few feet below the surface of the moon, we know alomost nothing about the moon), or if the moon's intearar is liguid then it most likely has a magnetic field and the compass would Align with that.
Can you use a compas on the moon?
Yes, you can use a compass on the moon. The principles of magnetism that a compass relies on would still work on the moon. However, the moon does not have a global magnetic field like Earth, so the accuracy and functionality of a compass may be limited.
Where would a compass point to in space?
In space, a compass would not be able to function properly as it relies on Earth's magnetic field for orientation. Without a magnetic field, the needle in a compass would not have a specific direction to point to.
Do you need a magnetic compass on the moon?
Because the moon has no magnetosphere - compasses are based on magnetic energy. == ==
Where on earth is closest to the moon?
The Moon orbits over the tropical areas, within about 28 degrees of latitude north or south. The point on the Earth which is absolutely the CLOSEST to the Moon would be the point when the Moon reaches its "perigee". But that point moves as the Moon orbits the Earth.

Do globes have compass roses on them?
No. there would be no point.
If you are in Puerto Rico which way would your compass point?
In Puerto Rico, your compass would point north towards the North Pole in the Arctic region.
If there was a magnet beside a compass would the compass point to the north or south?
If there is a magnet beside a compass, the compass needle would be influenced by the magnetic field of the magnet rather than Earth's magnetic field. The needle would point towards the opposite pole of the magnet, so if the magnet's north pole is beside the compass, the compass needle would point towards the south.
What way will a compass point in Uruguay?
the compass would point north because it Always points north unless you are at the north pole. :)
What will happen if you put a compass next to a electromagnet that is turnd on?
the arrow in the compass would point to the magnet
Which end of a compass needle would point toward the north pole of a bar magnet?
The north end of a compass needle would point toward the north pole of a bar magnet.
Why would it be more beneficial to have a star chart rather than a compass if you were lost on the moon?
It would be more beneficial to have a star chart than a compass because a compass only works on earth. The compass uses the magnetic field that is generated by the north side of the earth. On the moon, there is no strong magnetic field on the north side, making a compass useless in finding your way back.

In space, a compass would not be able to function properly as it relies on Earth's magnetic field for orientation. Without a magnetic field, the needle in a compass would not have a specific direction to point to.
What did the vikings call magnets?
As a compass. They dangled the metallic stone from a string, knowing it would point north.
When was Compass Point Studios created?
Compass Point Studios was created in 1977.
