When a moving proton travels through a magnetic field, doe's it's magnetic field (that it's giving off) naturally align with the outside magnetic field (due to a magnet or something in the environment)?

No, not all magnetic fields align in the same direction. The direction of a magnetic field depends on the direction of the electric current or the orientation of the magnetic material that produces the field.
Yes, moving charges can create magnetic fields that align. Moving charges generate a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the direction of their motion. The alignment of these magnetic fields depends on the direction of the moving charges.
Magnetic fields align with each other based on their polarity. Opposite poles of magnets attract each other and align, while like poles repel each other and do not align.
No, magnetic fields cannot align with non-magnetic materials. Only magnetic materials, such as iron or cobalt, can be influenced by magnetic fields and align with them.
Yes, magnetic fields align with the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth's magnetic field is generated by its molten iron core and extends from the North Pole to the South Pole. Other magnetic fields, such as those created by magnets or electric currents, align with the Earth's magnetic field.
