What’s the difference between magnetic north and true north?

Magnetic north refers to the direction that a magnetic compass points, which is influenced by the Earth's magnetic field. It is located near the Earth's North Pole, but it is constantly shifting due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field. True north, also known as geographic north, is the direction toward the Earth's geographic North Pole, which is a fixed point on the Earth's surface. The difference between magnetic north and true north is called magnetic declination, and it varies depending on your location on Earth.
