Geographic North

Geographic North, also known as true north, is the point where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface in the Northern Hemisphere. It is fixed in space and provides a consistent reference for navigation and mapping, located at the North Pole. Unlike magnetic north, which can shift over time due to changes in Earth's magnetic field, geographic north remains constant. This point helps in accurately determining directions and aligning maps, ensuring consistent orientation regardless of magnetic variations. It serves as the fundamental geographic reference for navigation, exploration, and geographic coordinate systems.
