Earth's Magnetic Shield

Our solar system have many type of planet but only Earth is a planet where life is possible. One sun exists in our solar system. Our Sun is constantly blasting huge amount of hot plasma out into space.

All those Charge particles have a high effect on everything in their path. This sense make a very serious question that is very useful to future or useful for human life. The Earth have magnetic shield which protects us from the particles. So, today I will discuss about the magnetic shield.


What's Protecting Earth from the Solar Wind And Solar Storms?


Earth's thick atmosphere provide some defense, scattering and absorbing solar particles before they reach the surface but our planet also has a secret weapon called strong magnetic field predict into space mostly generated by molten iron alloys moving in Earth's outer core. The area of space where the magnetic field interacts with the solar wind is called Earth's magnetosphere. Its shape constantly changes as its bombarded by solar particles.


As positively charge protons and negatively charged electrons enter in the magnetosphere most of them deflected around earth long before they reach the atmosphere. The magnetosphere really gets tested when high solar storms carrying more plasma and travelling at higher speed are in a collision course with Earth while most of the plasma deflected some of its get trapped in the magnetosphere and funnels back toward Earth along field lines emerge from the poles. As charged particles from the sun collide with nitrogen and oxygen molecules in our atmosphere.


They create the cosmic light known as Aurora's. The bigger the storm further from the poles Aurora's can be seen. Some storms are so big they interfere with satellites cause planes to alter their roots and can create other problems. Aurora's is very beautiful to seen in the sky and it generally developed in the north side or South Side of the Earth.


The End Notes

The vast majority of time these inconveniences are pretty minor but the next time the solar version of a perfect storm overwhelms Earth's magnetic shield. We might not be so lucky. So please leave comment in comment section below and do not forgot to like my post. Thanks.
