Where does a compass point on the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, a compass needle will point towards the Earth's magnetic north pole, which is located in the Arctic region of Canada. This is the direction that aligns with the Earth's magnetic field lines.
Is a northen hemisphere compass the same as a southern hemisphere compass?
No, the magnetic needle in a northern hemisphere compass is attracted to the Earth's magnetic North Pole, while in a southern hemisphere compass, it is attracted to the South Pole. This means that compasses designed for each hemisphere will have their markings and adjustments oriented accordingly.
What In the Northern Hemisphere the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when?
the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading.
Where does a compass point in the northern hemisphere?
It points North, please use your brain instead of looking up answers. -Sincerely, Proffesser.C. is mean
What is the north and south eqater called?
The equator is the line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The point where the equator intersects the Earth's surface is referred to as the North Pole in the Northern Hemisphere and the South Pole in the Southern Hemisphere.
Which of earth's magnetic poles is located in the northern hemisphere?
The North Magnetic Pole, which is where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards, is located in the northern hemisphere. It is currently situated in the Arctic Ocean, near the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
Is the magnetic pole in the northern hemisphere a south pole?
If you (as is practise) call the end of a magnet that points north when suspended freely the "North" pole, then Yes, the place in Canada where the "Magnetic North pole" is is really magnetically a South pole (has the same magnetic moment as the end of the bar magnet that points south). Confusing enough?
Is there another North Pole?
There is- it is called the Magnetic North Pole. The magnetic one is constantly shifting around the Northern Hemisphere and in a year will move 15km.

No, the magnetic needle in a northern hemisphere compass is attracted to the Earth's magnetic North Pole, while in a southern hemisphere compass, it is attracted to the South Pole. This means that compasses designed for each hemisphere will have their markings and adjustments oriented accordingly.
Why are the cold poles of the northern hemisphere centered in N Canada and in Siberia while only one exists in the southern hemisphere over Antarctica?
There is only one pole in the northern hemisphere and it is in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. Magnetic north is in Canada, but that is unrelated and not a pole.
The center of the northern hemisphere is the?
The center of the Northern Hemisphere is the North Pole.
What part of the earth is the northern hemisphere?
It depends. There are two ways the Earth can be divided into hemispheres - North/South and East/West. If you mean North/South, the North Pole is clearly in the Northern Hemisphere. If you mean East/West, it is on the dividing line between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, so it is in both hemispheres (or neither, depending on how you look at it). That's if you're talking about the Geographic North Pole, the point where the Earth's axis of rotation meets the Earth's surface. But "North Pole" could also mean the North Magnetic Pole (which is technically, in magnetism terms, a magnetic south pole). The North Magnetic Pole is the point at which the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downards. Though close to the Geographic North Pole, it is not in exactly the same position. It's still, of course, in the Northen Hemisphere, if you're dividing the Earth horizontally. But, if you're dividing the Earth vertically, unlike the Geographic North Pole, the North Magnetic Pole is clearly in the Western Hemisphere, at approximately 82.7oN, 114.4oW (as estimated in 2005). Then again, if you're talking about the North Magnetic Pole in terms of actual physical magnetism, the magnetic north pole of the Earth's magnetic field is actually what we call the South Magnetic Pole. This is not directly opposite the North Magnetic Pole, but lies at approximately 64.5oS, 137.9oE. This puts the magnetic north pole in the Southern Hemisphere (if dividing the Earth horizontally) and in the Eastern Hemisphere (if dividing it vertically). It is worth noting, however, that the terms "North" and "South" were used geographically long before they were used magnetically. When the pioneers of magnetism applied the terms to magnets, they did not fully understand the Earth's magnetic field, and thus named the poles of a magnet backward from how the Earth's magnetic field works . By the time they figured it out, the term "north pole", as applied to a magnetic field, was too established to change. However, if they had known at the time they named the poles of a magnetic field, how the Earth's magnetic field works, they would have named them so that the North Pole of the Earth's magnetic field was somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere. So, I believe it's fair to say that, since the geographers invented the term, we should defer to them on which pole is which.
What is the northern hemisphere in between?
The Northern hemisphere is between the Equator and the North Pole.
What In the Northern Hemisphere the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when?
the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading.
Is the US closer to North Pole or south pole?
The US is completely in the northern hemisphere. Every place in the northern hemisphere is closer to the north pole than it is to the south pole.
Is Paris in the east or west hemisphere?
Northern hemisphere as it is above the equator. If a place is above the equator (closer to the north pole then the south pole) it is in the northern hemisphere
