Earth has a magnetic field that is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core. This magnetic field helps protect our planet from harmful solar radiation and guides compass needles to point north. The strength of Earth's magnetic field has been decreasing over time and periodically reverses its polarity.

What are some fun and educational facts about magnets for kids to learn?

Here are some fun and educational facts about magnets for kids to learn: Magnets have two poles - a north pole and a south pole. Opposite poles attract each other, while like poles repel each other. Magnets can attract certain metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt. The Earth itself acts like a giant magnet, with a north and south pole. Magnets are used in everyday items like refrigerator magnets, compasses, and MRI machines. Magnets can create a magnetic field around them, which is invisible but can be felt by placing iron filings near the magnet. These facts can help kids understand the basics of magnetism and its applications in the world around them.

What is the properties of magnets?

Any magnet will always align itself to north south direction of earths magnetic field. Magnetic needle will always be perpendicular to the direction of current. Stronger magnets attracts weak magnets towards itself if the weak magnet is placed in stronger magnets magnetic field.
