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.

Think of energy or magnetism like candy bars. If you have one magnet / candy bar and you get so close to it with a microscope….it might look like a giant candy bar.

But then the earth showsn up with a pillowcase full of candy bars. Doesn’t matter they’re the small fun size there’s still a ton of them.
