Why is the compass needle oriented as it is in the diagram?

Answer:
Its north pole is attracted to the south pole of the magnet
Explanation:
Opposites attract, so therefor north and south attract and south and south repel because they are the exact same as well as north and north, which is also why on a compass it is always pointing north because the north magnetic pole is much greater and is attracted to the south, its opposite, therefor the north pulls the south towards it.
