I read an article about NASA that was edited by the NASA Content Administrator and

was last updated on August 7, 2017. To Understand what Magnetic reversal means but
before that I searched up the definition and the definition of a magnetic reversal
according to the dictionary is a change in the Earth's magnetic field that causes the
magnetic north to be aligned with the geographic south and the magnetic south to be
aligned with the geographic north. In other phrases, the north and south poles as they
are now weren't always the same. During the millennia, the polarity of the Earth's
magnetic field has been reversed countless times, turning south into north and north
into south. That means that south was north and what we know as north was once
south. According to Nasa, if you were alive about 800,000 years ago, and facing what we
call north with a magnetic compass in your hand, the needle would point to 'south.' This
is because a magnetic compass is calibrated based on Earth's poles, Just like a magnetic
pointer that aligns itself with Earth’s magnetic field. Throughout the past three billion
years, reversals are thought to have occurred at least hundreds of times, according to
scientists. The reason Earth has a magnetic field is because a fluid ocean of hot, liquid
metal surrounds its solid iron core. The end outcome is the Earth's Core, which
generates magnetic fields from electric current. When we think of a magnetic field, we
typically picture the common magnetic bars that are present throughout the household.
Like a compass, every magnet has a south and a north pole because opposite poles
attract and poles repel one another.
