Learn more: How does a compass work? A moving needle inside the compass reacts to a magnet, the Earth. Indeed, as our planet contains a lot of iron, it is magnetic, and the small moving needle inside the compass uses this to indicate the north-south direction. However, this only works if there are no other magnets near the compass. Note that the needle of a magnetic steel compass always points approximately north.
