Which way does a compass needle usually point?
The needle, or "pointer", of a compass will always point North. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass
If you are in Puerto Rico which way would your compass point?
In Puerto Rico, your compass would point north towards the North Pole in the Arctic region.
Why does a compass point the way it does?
A compass point is lightly magnetised and is attracted the the magnetic north pole, so provided there are no other stronger magnets nearby the compass will always point north, and knowing where north is you can then work out all the other directions.
Which way does the marked end of a compass point?
The marked end of a compass needle typically points towards the magnetic north.
If you were in Uruguay and looked at your compass which way would the needle be pointing?
It depends which direction you're facing, it has nothing to do with where on the planet you are.WRONG ANSWER! Regardless of WHERE you are, or WHICH way you are looking, the compass needle will point to the NORTH. Not to the NORTH POLE mind you, but to the MAGNETIC NORTH, which is a little bit off from the TRUE NORTH and also MOVES a little bit every year. This is called VARIATION and depending on where you are, the TRUE NORTH may be to the right or to the left of where the compass needle points. Your reading will also be a little bit off to one side or the other, depending on which direction the needle is pointing (hey, nobody's perfect), but this is predictable and can be measured when the compass is calibrated (a process called swinging the compass). This is called COMPASS DEVIATION (don't think deviate now...) Another change may happen if you are going from West to East or viceversa AND you are accelerating or deccelerating, in which case the needle will lag. Last but not least, if you have any kind of magnetic interference near the compass, like a screwdriver with a magnetic tip, oh well then... the needle may be pointing God knows where.Northnorth because that's what way compasses point.
When i am filled i point the way when I'm empty nothing moves me?
A compass. When a compass is filled with a magnetic liquid, the needle is able to point towards the Earth's magnetic North pole, guiding the way. When the compass is empty or not functioning, the needle remains still and does not indicate direction.
Hw do you make a compass face the wrong way?
To make a compass face the wrong way, you can do so by placing a strong magnet next to the compass needle. The magnetic force of the magnet will overpower the Earth's magnetic field, causing the compass needle to point in the opposite direction. Remember that this can temporarily disrupt the accuracy of the compass.
When was The Compass Point Sessions created?
The Compass Point Sessions was created in 1998.
When was Compass Point Studios created?
Compass Point Studios was created in 1977.
In which direction will the compass point?
The compass will point towards the magnetic north pole.
What way does the south pole of a compass point toward?
Except near the Earth's magnetic poles, the south pole of a compass points toward the south.
Where will a compass point if you face south?
If you point the north side of the compass away from you the compass will point south. Because the needle always points north (magnetism).
