What is meaning of horizontal component of earth's magnetic field?
If you think of the planet Earth as a very large round magnet, you can imagine the magnetic lines of force that come vertically out of the magnetic poles, then curve around to reach the opposite pole where they vertically return to the planet from the opposite direction. While the lines of force are parallel to the surface of the Earth, they are horizontal.
