A=Geographic poles, B=Geomagnetic poles, C=Magnetic poles

A geographical pole is either of two points on the surface of a rotating planet where the axis of rotation meets the surface of the planet. The north geographical pole of a body is 90 degrees north of the equator. The south geographical pole lies 90 degrees south of the equator.

Relative to Earth's surface, the geographic poles move by a few metres over periods of a few years.
