At the Magnetic EquatorMagnetic Equator, the attraction of the compass

needle towards the north and north and south poles is equalsouth poles is equal and the needle remains unbiasedremains unbiased. As the compass is moved either

north or south of the magnetic equator, the attraction to the

nearest pole is increased, thus the needle will be biased

towards the nearest pole. This phenomenon is called

Magnetic DipMagnetic Dip.

GYROSCOPEGYROSCOPE

GyroscopeGyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principle

of conservation of angular momentum. The essence of the device is a spinning wheel essence of the device is a spinning wheel on an axleon an axle. The device, once spinning, tends to resist changesto resist changes to its orientation due to the angular momentum of the wheel. In physics

this phenomenon is also known as Gyroscopic Inertia Gyroscopic Inertia or or Rigidity in SpaceRigidity in Space..

A Gyroscope in Gyroscope in operationoperation with

freedom in all three axis. The rotor will

maintain its spin axis direction regardless of the orientation of the

outer frame.

PrecessionPrecession refers to a change in the direction of

the axis of a rotating object. In certain contexts,

"precession" may refer to the precession that the Earth experiences, the effects of this type of

precession on astronomical observation, or to the precession of orbital

objects.
