The compass always point towards the north.
Explanation:
The simplest compass is a magnetized metal needle mounted in such a way that it can rotate freely. Left to its own devices, the needle turns to one end to the north and the other to the south. So, the compass needle points north, because the magnet's north pole inside is attracted to the south pole of the Earth's built-in magnet. Now if the needle in your compass is pointing to the North, that means that something near the North Pole of Earth is attracted to it.
