Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ends of a magnet are called its poles. One end is called the north pole, the other is called the south pole. If you line up two magnets so that the south pole of one faces the north pole of the other, the magnets will pull toward each other. This is called attraction.

Detailed explanation-2: -A bar magnet suspended in Earth’s magnetic field orients itself in a north–south direction. The north-seeking pole of such a magnet, or any similar pole, is called a north magnetic pole. The south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole.

Detailed explanation-3: -The north pole and south pole are the two poles of a magnet.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both the Arctic (North Pole) and the Antarctic (South Pole) are very cold because they get very little direct sunlight.

Detailed explanation-5: -Earth has two geographic poles: the North Pole and the South Pole. They are the places on Earth’s surface that Earth’s imaginary spin axis passes through. Our planet also has two magnetic poles: the North Magnetic Pole and the South Magnetic Pole.
