Pretty much everything has a magnetic response of some kind and fall into four broad categories:

Ferromagnetic - Like carbon steel, Iron. You apply a magnetic field to it and when you take that field away the material stays magnetized.

Antiferromagnetic - Apply a field and the sample will have a magnetic response that opposes the applied field, the magnetisation remains once the applied field is removed.

Paramagnetic - Apply a magnetic field and the sample will have a magnetic response that aligns with the field but take away the applied field and the sample will not stay magnetised

Diamagnetic - Apply a field and the sample will have a magnetic response that opposes the applied field. Take away the applied field and the sample does not stay magnetised.

So, really, everything has a magnetic response, but if you are asking what can't be permanently magnetised then anything that is paramagnetic or diamagnetic - like wood, plastics, jam, cotton.

No, aluminum is not a magnetic material.

But you could shape the aluminum foil into a coil, then pass a current through it and then it would be an electromagnet.

The idea that the Earth itself acts as a giant magnet was first proposed in 1600 by the English physician and natural philosopher, William Gilbert. He was also the first to define the North Magnetic Pole as the point where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards. This is the definition used nowadays, though it would be several hundred years before the nature of the Earth's magnetic field was understood properly.

Magnetism is a property of certain materials, usually metals, that have an electric dipole on the molecular scale. A dipole is a significant separation between the positive and negative charges in the molecule. Since electrons and protons have spin, and moving electrical charges generate megnetic fields, the dipole generates a net magnetic field. If enough dipoles are oriented in the same direction the body has a net magnetic field.

The dipoles can align when sitting in a permanent magnetic field for a long period of time, like underground in the earth's magnetic field.

Electric current will be induced in such a way that the flux of the magnetic field will be constant and thereby the induced current will create magnetic field in the same direction. This is what we call Lenz's law(law of conservation of energy).

In a word, no.

A conventional magnetic compass only indicates the *Earth's* magnetic field. The influence of any extraterrestrial magnetic fields falls off according to the inverse-square law, that is, the force is diminished by the square of the distance from the source. What this means is that any fields present from other objects are very small compared to the Earth's own field. You can demonstrate this by influencing a compass with a small bar magnet. Once you leave the vicinity of Earth, the usefulness of a magnetic compass disappears almost immediately.

Of present technology, Inertial Navigation is the most suited for space travel. By using accelerometers and gyroscopes to measure acceleration along each axis, and rotation around each axis, you can keep track of distance and direction traveled.

That's how spacecraft got to the moon, planets and beyond the solar system.

Addition: A sextant will always be a handy navigational tool. If interstellar travel ever becomes a reality a real time pulsar triangulator will be a necessity. Every pulsar has a unique rotational frequency. By triangulating apparent angles between the pulsars a spacecrafts position in space can be known.

In the simplest terms, Induced Magnetism is magnetism of an object as a result of an external influence. Typically, the external influence is a magnetic field due to another object.

Though this is a technical term, it has a meaning that is the normal meaning of "induced," as in "caused by." This is to be contrasted with other modifiers, like "permanent magnetism" or "remnant magnetism" or "spontaneous magnetism" which are all still magnetism of an object but with a modifier further describing the magnetic state. (One also hears the term transient magnetism applied to the same phenomenon. To be considered transient, the magnetism must disappear when the external influence disappears, but to be "induced" it just has to appear.)

If one is being more technical, then in scientific circles the term "induced magnetism" usually refers the situation where an object acquires a magnetic field as a result of it being in some external magnetic field even though it is not normally a magnetized material. One see this all the time. If you bring a permanent magnet near a collection of paperclips, then the paperclips all attach to one another and to the permanent magnet. Each paperclip has become, temporarily, a magnet. If the permanent magnet is removed, the paperclips no longer attach to one another. The magnetic properties of the paperclips were "induced" and not a permanent characteristic.

More technicalities can be present with this term, because magnetism in an object can be induced in other ways than the application of a magnetic field. In the absence of such technical considerations, it is safe to assume that the term "induced magnetism" just means a temporary state of magnetization of an object induced by an external magnetic field provided by a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.
