If the worlds magnetic poles reverse would the sun rise in the west?
No. The rotation of the Earth cannot change without a shock big enough to destroy all life on the planet. But the direction of "magnetic north" would point more toward the SOUTH pole than the north pole.A magnetic compass doesn't point at the north pole; it points to the north MAGNETIC pole, which is currently (it slowly wanders around) in northern Canada. When the Earth's magnetic field reverses, we're not sure exactly where the north magnetic pole will be, but it'll probably be somewhere in the Indian Ocean south of Tasmania. We do know that the Earth's magnetic field will reverse; it has hundreds of times before. But we don't expect it any time soon.
