Navigation accuracy in land,water and sky became a possibility.
Local attraction refers to the effect of nearby magnetic objects on the accuracy of a compass survey. To minimize its impact, you can keep the compass away from metal objects, power lines, or electronic devices, take multiple readings and average them, or use a different type of compass like a gyrocompass which is less susceptible to local attraction.
No, the compass was invented earlier, in ancient China, long before Christopher Columbus's voyages to the Americas. It was used for navigation by various cultures around the world, not just by Columbus.
One of China's greatest contributions to geography was the invention of the compass during the Song dynasty. This invention revolutionized navigation and played a significant role in shaping the way people understood and mapped the world. The compass made it possible for sailors and explorers to accurately determine direction, leading to increased knowledge and exploration of the Earth's geography.
There are 195 countries in the world today.
The Southern Hemisphere compass will naturally align it self with the South Poleanswer 2 A compass designed to work in the southern hemisphere will have the needle/card balanced differently, for in the S hemisphere the S pole will cause the compass to dip slightly - and opposite to the northern hemisphere.The compass manufacturers divide the Earth into five zones for balance. Some folk need a compass that is insensitive to this effect, (e.g. Army) and for this they choose to have the needle a smaller part of the weight balanced on the pivot, and have a liquid filled compass.Regarding the first sentence above, the compass needle actually aligns itself with the lines of magnetic force at your location - which will still result in a N - S alignment.
The compass as this allowed greater trade options not just for the Chinese but the world in general

it has no effect

yes they do because a astrolobe is a compass so yes the people today use a astrolabe / compass
no
He effected todays world because of his studies.
what effect does George clemenceau have on the world today
What purpose did the ancient compass serve
Global positioning satellites
The cause is the Chinese invention of the magnetic compass. The effect is the voyage of Zheng He. The invention of the magnetic compass allowed Zheng He to make his voyage.
Yes, it is the compass which we use today.
