Umakant biswal · Answer

Magnetic declination or variation is the angle on the horizontal plane between magnetic north (the direction the north end of a compass needle points, corresponding to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field lines) and true north (the direction along a meridian towards the geographic North Pole). u just need to calculate it by taking the ratio, there is no other way to calculate it . place your compass in the magnetic horizontal plane and then measure the angle .
