Question

Differentiate between Magnetic declination and dip of needle

Answer 1

Answer:

magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic north and true north.

however,

magnetic dip is the angle between magnetic field lines and horizontal plane at particular location on the plane.

hope it helps you!

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic north and true north. D is considered positive when the angle measured is east of true north and negative when west. The Magnetic inclination is the angle between the horizontal plane and the total field vector, measured positive into Earth. Magnetic Dip however is the angle between magnetic field lines and the horizontal plane at a particular location on the planet.
