Answer:
This observation shows the ability of the magnetic fields to create lines that can align the position of the magnets.
Explanation:
Compasses have a small magnet on the pointer and this explains why the compass pointer aligns with a magnet, even if the magnet does not touch the compass.
That's because the magnet on the compass pointer creates a magnetic field around it. This magnetic field is capable of creating lines that have the ability to align the position of different magnets, even if they do not touch.
