Detailed explanation-2: -There are three North Poles: a geographic North Pole and a magnetic North Pole. There is also a geomagnetic North Pole, which is a very difficult scientific concept to understand. The geographic North Pole is located about 725 km north of Greenland in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. This is called true north.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both the Arctic (North Pole) and the Antarctic (South Pole) are very cold because they get very little direct sunlight.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnets have two poles, a north pole and a south pole. The magnetic field is represented by field lines that start at a magnet’s north pole and end at the south pole. When most people think of magnetism, they think about the magnetic force experienced between two magnets.

Detailed explanation-5: -Whereas the south pole of the magnet is aligning itself with the magnetic north of Earth. So that is the reason we call them as north pole and south pole is because they align or they show us the direction of the our geographical north and south of Earth.
