A few % of the magnetic field comes from the stream of charged particles coming from the Sun. This is why the magnetic field varies greatly in Polar Regions during a sunspot storm.

The majority of the field is generated deep inside the Earth by electrical currents in the liquid part of the outer core. The nett result of these currents generates a magnetic field.

The Curie Temperature of magnetic materials ensures that there are no magnetic materials deep in the Earth.

The earth's magnetic field is caused by the fact that the earth has a moltern iron core. When moltern iron spins it causes an electric field. This causes an electromagnetic field. Some planets are too large or too small for the iron in their core to be molten.
