  2. North magnetic pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_magnetic_pole

    The north magnetic pole, also known as the magnetic north pole, is a point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downward (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate in three dimensions, it will point straight down).

  3. Geomagnetic pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_pole

    Like the North Magnetic Pole, the North Geomagnetic Pole attracts the north pole of a bar magnet and so is in a physical sense actually a magnetic south pole. It is the center of the 'open' magnetic field lines which connect to the interplanetary magnetic field and provide a direct route for the solar wind to reach the ionosphere.

  4. Magnetic pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_pole

    Magnetic pole may refer to: One of the two ends of a magnet; Magnetic monopole, a hypothetical elementary particle; The magnetic poles of astronomical bodies, a special case of magnets, especially: The North magnetic pole of planet Earth, a point where the north end of a compass points downward

    Compass needles in the Northern Hemisphere point toward the magnetic North Pole, although the exact location of it changes from time to time as the contours of Earth’s magnetic field also change.

  6. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    A magnet's North pole is defined as the pole that is attracted by the Earth's North Magnetic Pole when the magnet is suspended so it can turn freely. Since opposite poles attract, the North Magnetic Pole of the Earth is really the south pole of its magnetic field (the place where the field is directed downward into the Earth). [20] [21] [22] [23]

    The magnetic pole moved along the northern Canadian shore for centuries, Dr Brown said. It drifted into the Arctic Ocean in the 1990s, and after that, it accelerated and headed towards Siberia.

  8. South magnetic pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_magnetic_pole

    The south magnetic pole, also known as the magnetic south pole, is the point on Earth's Southern Hemisphere where the geomagnetic field lines are directed perpendicular to the nominal surface. The Geomagnetic South Pole, a related point, is the south pole of an ideal dipole model of the Earth's magnetic field that most closely fits the Earth's ...

  9. Poles of astronomical bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poles_of_astronomical_bodies

    Planetary magnetic poles are defined analogously to the Earth's North and South magnetic poles: they are the locations on the planet's surface at which the planet's magnetic field lines are vertical. The direction of the field determines whether the pole is a magnetic north or south pole, exactly as on Earth.
