No matter where Earth is in its orbit, its geographic north pole is always pointing toward Polaris, also known as the North Star or the Pole Star. However, different stars serve as the Pole Star in different centuries or millennia because the direction of Earth's tilt rotates at the rate of one cycle every 25,800 years.
What else can I help you with?
Does a compass point to the geographic north pole?
No. The compass needle points toward the magnetic north pole.
What star does the north pole point toward?
The North Pole points toward the North Star, also known as Polaris. This star sits almost directly above the Earth's true North Pole, making it a useful navigational tool for determining direction.
The North Pole of a compass magnet points toward what?
The North Pole of a compass magnet points toward the Earth's magnetic South Pole. This is because magnetic poles are opposites, and the North Pole of a magnet is attracted to the magnetic field generated by the Earth's core, which is located near the geographic North Pole. This phenomenon is a result of the Earth's magnetic field, which is not aligned perfectly with the planet's rotational axis.
Why at the earths geometric north pole does the north end of a compass get pulled strongly downward?
Because the magnetic north points vertically downwards.
What are the four main points on compass called?
North south east and west
When the north pole points toward the sun what season is it in the northern hemisphere?
In North America, the season when the north pole points toward the sun is Summer.
When the North Pole points toward the sun the northern hemisphere is in what season?
In North America, the season when the north pole points toward the sun is Summer.
The south pole of a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
When the North Pole points toward the sun what season is it in North America?
Summer
What is the needle that turns toward the earths north pole?
I Believe It Is Called The Axis :P
Where is earths surface heated more south pole or north pole?
it is different in different points of the year.
Does a compass point to the geographic north pole?
No. The compass needle points toward the magnetic north pole.
What star does the north pole point toward?
The North Pole points toward the North Star, also known as Polaris. This star sits almost directly above the Earth's true North Pole, making it a useful navigational tool for determining direction.
What direction does the angular velocity vector of the Earth's rotation point toward?
The Earth's angular velocity vector due to its axial rotation points towards the north pole.
Why at the earths geometric north pole does the north end of a compass get pulled strongly downward?
Because the magnetic north points vertically downwards.
What are the four main points on compass called?
North south east and west
How do the poles work?
The north pole points to the north.The south pole points to the south. The north pole points to the north.The south pole points to the south.
