I saw a show on this topic. Every once in a while the sun shoots out solar flares, these are made out of the suns material and are dangerous, they also go pretty far. Occasionaly one heads straight for earth, but the earths magnetic is strong enough to make a "shield" around the earth (sorry if this isn't enough detail).

Earths magnetic field affects what?

effects of earth's magnetic field:-The sun emits huge amount of solid charged particles every time(called solar wind). if these particles are allowed to enter our earth, then there would be no chance of existence of life as this horrible effect of the solar wind would scrape away the atmosphere of our earth. but this magnetic field of our earth repels all these solid particles from the sun. by K.
