the strongest magnet in the world boasts 900 times the earths magnetism, so why wouldn’t a compass point towards those superior magnets?

Question

Also does anyone know how those ultra strong magnets are affecting our planet if at all?

Edit: sorry the [link](https://imamagnets.com/en/blog/what-is-most-powerful-magnet/#:~:text=The%20world’s%20most%20powerful%20magnet%20is%2044.14%20Teslas.&text=This%20super%20magnet%20has%20a,we%20find%20in%20a%20hospital) says 900,000 times the earths magnetism

Edit 2: Thank you wonderful people for clearing that up. Your minor support did more for my mental health than you realize not just for the knowledge but also the general support from the community. Y’all are amazing.

Answer 1

Measure the brightness of the brightest star in the night sky, you’ll get something ridiculously low, thousands of times lower than if you point the device towards a flashlight in the room.

Now does the flashlight deliver more light than a thousands stars ? absolutely not.

Energy decreases drastically with distance. The magnet’s field is stronger than Earth’s when you’re very close to it. As soon as you get away, it’s not even detectable.
