  1. Magnetic declination refers to the angular difference between magnetic north, which a compass needle points to, and true north, which is the direction of the Earth’s rotational axis. This variation occurs because Earth’s magnetic field is not perfectly aligned with its geographic poles. Declination varies by location and affects accurate navigation.
