Why does a Compass point North?
The inside of the Earth acts like a strong Magnet. One end of the Earth's magnet is near the North Pole. The other end is near the South Pole. A Compass has a needle that is a magnet. The Earth's magnet attracts the needle so that it always points North. If you held a compass near the North Pole, the N of the Compass would point straight to the ground.
