The animation showing how magnetic north changes in relation to true north from different locations was very clearly represented. In all, a very well made video. Thank you.
East was focal for ancients as they were before magnets and hadn't explored far enough to see the sun or moon trace a full circle. Today we use north as our focus as we understand two points on a planet remain stationary throughout its rotation; the north and south poles. Which would have been called "sinister" and "solar" by the ancients. Funny stuff.
Magnetic north and south poles are not actually a point but a magnetic huge circle located at 80 latitude parallel. Its where magnetic field lines go in and out of earth creating a huge magnetic circle. If a person goes inside this magnetic circle, compass will go haywire.
1:40 Don't do that pointing with a single arm to your left or right, you will most probably pivot your shoulder without being aware of it and thus pointing too much left or right of the real North/South. Always spread out *both arms* to the left *and* right in a most perfect straight line possible and then align both straight arms with the sun in the most accurate 90° angle (watch at your shadow being perfectly lined up behind you as well). Then turn only your head to the left (or right) and aim using either arm to find at least two waypoints in alignment with one of your arms. This way you make sure your shoulder and hence also your arm is not unwittingly pivoted and misdirecting you.
Nicely done! Good level of details and straight to the point. Narrator has a good tone of voice and diction. Thanks for your contribution and spreading your knowledge to others.
" the south magnetic pole is actually near the geographic North Pole, as opposites attract. " Or something like that. I have taught navigation for many years, and I never thought of that simple concept! That tidbit alone made this wort watching, thanks!
This is a very well-done video. The narration and information presented his pre-quality. However, if you're looking for the topic of the title, true North versus magnetic north, you can skip ahead to about five minutes. Prior to this is some interesting history that's not really related to the stated topic.
You could literally get a complete high school education and some college education just by watching this channel. Every video is so interesting and very well explained!
Indeed, Yousuf...Thank you.. But i am expecting his future videos also to be very useful.. so you see it was actually my intention to write "find" (instead of "found").. i hope you understand what i mean.. ;-)
7:13 - someone in this location (near New Orleans) would see a declination angle that looks like this - BIG." Then why is it that the actual declination in New Orleans is close to zero?
Veda was translated in to Sanskrit.. This means that names like Planet, East, West, North, South are not the original names. Planéta, Východ, Západ, Sever, Juh are the original names. Planéta (Planet means plate, plate means flat surface). Compass on flat earth has only one north pole. Because is the center of earth. Logical question; How ships navigate 300 years ago, for example, when there were no satellites, GPS and was globe, according to you?
The etymology of east is certainly right, for north it is up for debate as far as I know. Either way I love that you're using etymology to explain meaning behind these concepts and show people they are not just hollow sounds.
I find it astonishing that such simple concepts, like "True" north verses "Magnetic" north need to be explained to "Educated" adults! These are things I learned in school, by the 3rd or 4th grade! But this was way back in the 1950's when Children actually got a vastly better "Education" then is offered today! Also, if you were in the Boy Scouts in the 60's, it one of the VERY FIRST principles you learned! Cheers!
Ayesha Shakeel: The compass needle is magnetised so it has a North and a South pole. The Earth also has a North and South magnetic pole. Opposite poles attract, therefore the North pole of the needle will point / be attracted to the South pole of the Earth (which is located near the geographic, not the magnetic, North of the globe).
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO! You explain the differences of the magnetic poles and the "true" poles. I wish my astronomy professor would explain things as clear as you, sir. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Good video. The bottom line is the vital necessity of at least ONE reference point by which other things can align to. In this case, the stable reference point is a magnetic needle points to magnetic north. Even though it changes slightly it can still be used as a stable reference point if you know the rate of amount of change annually etc. Which is printed on maps for your edification. When people get lost they are lacking even a single reference point.
Freaking outstanding job ! I find it difficult to understand why young people, especially, and everyone really, isn't enamored with understanding maps, and compasses. When I went to geography, or history class as a boy to see the beautiful pull down maps my mind slipped instantly into adventure dreamland. I was with Admiral Perry, or Shackleton, or Lewis, and Clarke, or Magellan. It was fantasy land heaven for me. I learned more by age twelve than most people will ever know. That's tragic for our society. There is a universe of knowledge associated with learning about navigation. Geometry, calculus, vector analysis, geography, history, nautical language, law, politics, astronomy, it just goes on, and on. Every teacher should master it, because it encompasses so many subjects. Perhaps someone should teach the orangutan in the White House how to read a map, and compass, so he can find North Korea on a map without GPS, and someone to hold his hand.
i started learning how to read a map and which country borders which, currently know europe, learning asia now. i know over 120 country names with their capitals that i can say without writing down. i'm always trying to learn new things. reading philosophy books, history books & always questioning everything. knowledge is so empowering and humbling at the same time.
Please run for President. You're what we need, not an illiterate fascist clown like we have now, that couldn't find North Korea, or Syria on a map if you stuck a pin flag in it for him. Keep it up. You'll have an exciting life. "I promise", especially when you start actually visiting all those places in the map of your mind. Have fun. I've been doing it for 50 years now, and had a ball Thailand, and the Andaman sea, to Amsterdam, Mexico, Paris, the Philippines, Hong Kong, London, and a whole bunch more to see if I live long enough. Don't wait to long.
Your example at 7:15 is not a very good one, because the declination in Louisiana is essentially zero; as it's on the agonic line. It's not the large angle shown in the video. This is a fairly minor quibble, but still it's worth mentioning. On a more positive note, your background music is well-chosen, and it complements your voice and message really well. It's rare to have a TH-cam video with such good quality audio.
Because of the coming micronova, declination is moving much farther, and much faster and so declination information is likely incorrect My up-to-date declination is 30 degrees, 15 degrees off from the official declination for my area. but there is still a way to recalibrate magnetic declination using the shadow of sticks recording the path of the sun---rotation of the earth has not yet changed. First stick will show East. Mark it with a sharp stick pushed in. After a few minutes you can mark sun shadow travel where the shadow has moved - Push another stick in to mark West. Lay a straight stick from the E mark to the W mark. Geographic north or True North is 90 degrees from the E-W line. With your compass pointing toward True North, note how far off your compass is now. That is your true up-to-date declination. More on micronova in my 2nd book, Surviving the Micronova: This Train Is on the Tracks will be available in September 2022.
You explain correctly that the geographic North pole is actually the magnetic South pole ( or close to it ) but then you change and call that direction the magnetic North pole ???? I could understand if you referred to it as North as it is known by all, and explained true North for the many that are unaware of there being both, or think that they are the one and same but calling it magnetic North immediately after explaining and educating almost everyone that watched this video that it certainly and only can must be earth's magnetic South pole leaves me dumbfounded and confused why you would do so ???? You sure know how to make someone happy, relieved and satisfied then suddenly confused, disappointed and devastated. 😞
Your narration, Sir, is such a calming experience. Beside the fact that I'm actually interested in the topics you cover I also enjoy your videos because of the chilling atmosphere. Thank you. Greeting from Europe.
At 2:05 "face the Sun at midday and you are looking South". Not much use if you live South of the equator. Like most folk from the USA or is this guy Canadian? Northern Hemisphere centric. The internet is global and that should be remembered.
2:03 Facing the sun on mid day will reveal South if you are on northern hemisphere of the Earth. But if you are on southern hemisphere, mid day gives you North.
Still selling the BS. When pushing your heliocentric nonsense the word imaginary this and imaginary that always gets used. Think for yourselves and break out of the programming.
True north is the axis around which the earth spins. The North arrow on almost every map you use points to true north. Magnetic north is the place to which your red compass needle points. With a few rare exceptions, these places are different depending on where you are on earth. The angle difference in degrees between these two places is declination.
Bastian Caceres The inner core of the earth rotates around a slightly different axis than the mantle and the crust do. (We live on the crust's surface.) The earth's magnetic field is created primarily from the core, however, so the axis of the magnetic field lines up with the axis of the core rather than the geological surface upon which we live and navigate.
Also about molten iron being responsible for the earth magnetism when at temperatures above 1800 degrees iron loses all magnetism trust me I know as a blade smith every knife I make has to be heated red hot befor quenching in water to make the blade hard one of the ways you can cheack if it’s hot enough is to take a magnet and see if it will stick to the blade if it dosent that means it’s quenching time
Perhaps a magnetic mountain or a great tree or a mountain that was once a tree that is so powerful with a magnetic electrical energy that all compass are drawn towards it and a beautiful light show of this energy known as the aura borielis or northern lights can be seen flowing around it ???? Perhaps Jesus is Lucifer and not just brothers of the morning star ? Perhaps there are great mountains known as mesas with flat tops because they were trees cut down that turned into rock or petrified as wood does and these trees were all the way up to the dome of our atmosphereric pressure ? But Um this divergent north shit no way man.
Don't expect to get a standard magnet to attract an American nickel as well as seen here. I placed a nickel on top of several fairly strong magnets and it took several years for the magnet to have any affect on the nickel. I realize this is likely because of the lack of nickel in the coin but still I was a little disappointed at the time.
The last photo is interesting. The sun is in the south which means it's around noon and it means the photo was taken in the northern hemisphere. Judging by the snow on the ground and how low the sun is, it's probably December or January.
Chance Michael Kirk Are you a flattard? Go outside at sunset and watch the sun disappear below the horizon. Then come back here and admit you're an idiot
The animation showing how magnetic north changes in relation to true north from different locations was very clearly represented. In all, a very well made video. Thank you.
The part about True VS Magnetic starts at 5:30. Thanks for sharing ScienceOnline.
Matt Smith I saw this right at 5:34 lol... now I know to look at comments first 😂
I thoroughly enjoyed the little history bit
Thank u for saving my time bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Matt Smith thank you
I never thought watching video about a compass could be this interesting. Thank you!
Makes me think dam I was lied where north was?
Totally agree!
I know, I thought that too. And such a beautiful voice x
Without a doubt, the best video covering magnetic declination I have watched. Simple, easy to follow and very professional.
Ailhjrjy
This is easily the best video on youtube about compasses. Perspicacious with an inviting voice, the narrator kept my attention.

Bill Rabara, Kudos Sir. You are an accomplished sesquipedalian.
Agreed, very informative
What a video!! Too clear ! nice
Magnetic north and south poles are not actually a point but a magnetic huge circle located at 80 latitude parallel. Its where magnetic field lines go in and out of earth creating a huge magnetic circle. If a person goes inside this magnetic circle, compass will go haywire.
Xeno Bardock would you get cancer if you were to live in that circle you think?

I have taught navigation for many years, and I never thought of that simple concept! That tidbit alone made this wort watching, thanks!
Good video and explanation.
Many text and websites incorrectly state that geographic north pole is also magnetic north pole.
This was the only Y that made clear the meaning and compass adjustment of declination.
Thank very much.
welcome
I had land nav in the U.S. Army and you made the explanation much simpler than they did.
This is a very well-done video. The narration and information presented his pre-quality.

Every video is so interesting and very well explained!
Could you provide us with a direct link to the next video you were referring to in this video? 😄
Explained well. One of the few I've seen where the use of the magnetic declination scale is demonstrated.
This is the best explanation I have yet come across on this topic. Thank you for posting this!
Indeed, Yousuf...Thank you..
But i am expecting his future videos also to be very useful.. so you see it was actually my intention to write "find" (instead of "found")..

Face the sun at noon SOUTH of the Capricornus tropic and you are facing NORTH.

2:04 He says the sun is in the south at mid day. However, this only holds true for the northern hemisphere right?
Indeed!
Right. That should have been mentioned in the presentation, or in the introduction.
compass
Correct. We all know there is no one living in the Southern hemisphere.
You are wrong with declanation.. it's not 13 degree... It's 12.3 degree
Straightforward and very helpful , great video mate!!! Thank you from AUSTRALIA 👏
covid-19 anyone?
What direction is the sun at midday on the south hemisphere? Is it the north direction at the south hemisphere?
At 6:46 he says compass points towards magnetic north but shouldnt it be pointing towards magnetic south which is also the geographic north?!
Ayesha Shakeel: The compass needle is magnetised so it has a North and a South pole. The Earth also has a North and South magnetic pole.

Face the Sun in all direction and you get Sun burn.
4:52 South isn’t north! The needle facing north is a south needle that’s why it goes north
Very informative & helpful short video on how to read Compass correctly! Thank You So Much! 🌍

so the South pole is actually at the top end of the world explaining why the positive end of compass goes its way..?? great knowledge here thanks...
1_ Fishin'_ Magician: Correct.....the South magnetic pole is in the geographic North of the Earth.
This is the third video I've watched on this topic, I've understood it completely from this video alone, great video👍
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.
???What actually is the magnetic area? is it a material in the ground which causes the attraction of the needle?
Awesome! Thank you for the excellent video (clear, concise, educational, and entertaining).
I subscribed...We work out of the " Hush Puppy " channel and the " Antonio Serpicolio " channel...Our Forte is the Earth's Binary Star System..
Why is the Flat Earth wikipedia page on the Context link?
4:38 He says the compass points toward the geographic north pole. But it actually points towards the magnetic north pole. What a useless video.
I think at this point he's talking about the pole of the magnet, not the pole of the earth. But I agree, it's confusing.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks I susbcribe this video help me with my Photovoltaic Class I was having a bad time on the understanding of True South and Magnetic South
Okay I will help you

Thanks for creating/sharing. This was very insightful, useful, and easy to understand.

Why is True North different from Magnetic North? Who detemines True North? based on what?
daaaah at the Sun, i answered myself lol
True north is the axis around which the earth spins. The North arrow on almost every map you use points to true north. Magnetic north is the place to which your red compass needle points. With a few rare exceptions, these places are different depending on where you are on earth. The angle difference in degrees between these two places is declination.
Bastian Caceres the earth is not spinning... its flat.. i dont even think this is how it really works...
Aba Zaba And i am Mickey Mouse

The earth's magnetic field is created primarily from the core, however, so the axis of the magnetic field lines up with the axis of the core rather than the geological surface upon which we live and navigate.

Fake North vrs Magnetic North
Thanks for this. Straightforward and not overly simplified like many educational videos I find
Omg I never thought I’d learn so much watching this video!!! 😃😃😃👏👏👏
Excellent. Thank you.
Came here for the title, didn't expect to actually learn navigation with map and compass, and a bit of history.
If the magnetic South Pole is close to the geographic north, why is the magnetic north labeled to be close to the geographic north
Wow! Excellent video, well-paced and full of interesting "factoids".
Note that magnetic declination is also known as magnetic variation, especially in many European countries.
Where does "Never Eat Soggy Worms" come into play for the different directions?
You are very savy
I learned how to navigate with a compass, sextant and watch in the 1970s and all marine charts had magnetic north on them.
So did this guy forget the 23° tilt or does science forget it's own b.s.
Yep and he fogot the 66.6 degree part too!!!
What? The 23 degree tilt is the yellow axis.
23° are the inclination of the Earth axis. They are probably caused by the Moon creation and orbit
Chance Michael Kirk Are you a flattard? Go outside at sunset and watch the sun disappear below the horizon. Then come back here and admit you're an idiot
@Peace & Serenity Ya maybe. And maybe monkeys will fly out of my butt. You never know
You would get 24h lightvif it wasn't for topography. The earth is flat dude
No it was the Assyrians GIVE CREDIT where it belongs.
Why did he sneak in prodo indo European WTF is that and why European ? Sounds like propaganda to me !
took me about a year to figure all that out on a gshock triple sensor. but once i did. boy is it accurate and everything else just fell into place.
8:00 - you are holding the compass backwards. The direction of travel arrow is 180° away, at the other end of your compass.
Why does this video link to a Wikipedia article on the Flat Earth for "context"???
