The needle of a compass contains a magnet that aligns itself with the lines of magnetic force at your locality, and thus indicates north.
Remembering the "like poles repel, unlike poles attract" phrase, it is the north-seeking pole of your compass that points north.
All magnets have a north end and a south end; and though there is some mathematical suggestion that a 'monopole' could exist, they are never found outside the pages of Science Fiction.
Scientists know that Earth's gravity and magnetism can work through gases, solids, and liquids because they have observed these effects in various materials and environments. They have conducted experiments and studies to understand the behavior of gravity and magnetism in different mediums and have found consistent results. Additionally, theoretical models and mathematical equations have been developed to explain how gravity and magnetism can act through different states of matter.
Quite simply, magnetism is stronger than gravity. In order to see a gravitational attractment you need a big difference in the force while magnetism all you need is opposite poles to attract each other. Imagine the difference between the whole earth and a small pebble. That's the difference you need in-order to achieve gravitational attractment.
Friction affects us by providing traction for walking or driving, while also causing wear and tear on surfaces. Magnetism is not a significant force in our daily lives unless working with magnetic materials like iron. Gravity is responsible for keeping us grounded on Earth, providing weight, and causing objects to fall when dropped.
Well, let's see. If I have a paper clip on a table and a magnet in my hand, and I slowly pass the magnet over the paper clip, the magnet in my hand is pulling the paper clip up with magnetism. If my magnet is close enough to the paper clip, the paper clip will jump up to the magnet ... even though the whole Earth is pulling it down with gravity.
They are words in the English language. They all contain the letters "i" and "t". They are all descriptors of how "a system" changes the motion of a body under consideration. Also known as "forces" (even though gravity is not really a force in modern physics).
Gravity and magnetism are not inventions, they are natural phenomena.
Gravity, magnetism, and electrostatic.
'Gravictism'? (Formed from Gravity, Friction and Magnetism)
Not magnetism, gravity.
Gravity. Magnetism is a fairly short-range force, but gravity goes on forever.
No.
no it is not because gravity brings things down to earth and magnetism can push things up.

Magnetism and Gravity.
No, magnetism is not directly influenced by gravity. Gravity is a force that acts on all objects with mass, while magnetism is a force that acts on objects with certain magnetic properties. They are independent of each other in most situations.
