특정 위치에서 진북(지리적 북)과 자북 사이의 각도로, 동편각 또는 서편각으로 표현한다.
설명
Earth's magnetic north pole does not coincide with its geographic north pole, causing compasses to deviate from true north by an amount that varies by location and changes over time. In 2024, magnetic declination in London is approximately 0°, while in Los Angeles it is about −11° (west). Hikers, pilots, and surveyors must apply this correction to convert compass readings into accurate true bearings.
