Explanation:

Compasses are mainly used in navigation to find direction on the earth. This works because the Earth itself has a magnetic field which is similar to that of a bar magnet (see the picture below). The compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field direction and points north-south.

Answer:

the needle of the magnetic compass is magnetic in nature which gets attracted towards the north and thus helps in identifying the direction
