Best Answer

The Sun is 4.5 billion years old and as everything has a magnetic field it stands to reason that it also is 4.5 billion years old.

Is the earths magnetic field stronger than the suns?

it's not


What evidence is there on earth having a magnetic field?

To start if we didnt have a magnetic field we would be fried by the suns radiation. The northern lights are evidence that we have a magnetic field surrounding earth.


What is created by the suns magnetic field?

Because the gravity of earth was closer together.


When is a magnetic field is the strongest on a magnet?

the magnet field is the strongest well the summer solstic when the suns gravitational pull is the strongest


Why is the earths magnetic field is important because it?

It's important because it protects us from the suns radiation.


Why won't the earth get any hotter from the suns rays?

The earth has a solid iron core, which creates an electric magnetic field around us. Only a few of the sun's rays can get through that magnetic field.

How are the Suns magnetic field and its activity cycle related?

The sun's rotation twists the magnetic field lines of force, causing hot spots of magnetic activity at the surface. The magnetic field slows down convection of energy produced by fusion below the surface, which causes a cooling effect(a sunspot). The magnetic field breaks down eventually and the sunspot dissipates, and convection goes up above normal in the region. Over time, magnetic field activity induces/creates other magnetic fields, decays, then those magnetic fields rebuild the old one, then they decay, and it goes on and on like that. The direction of the largest/main field reverses like a pendulum every 11 years.

How does the suns magnet field affect the Earth?

The sun produces energetic and charged particles and blasts them in all directions (solar winds). These charged particles can get trapped when they are near the earth's magnetic field. With the grace of this magnetic field, we are all shielded from being irreversible harmed. See the picture in the related link for a visualization of how the magnetic field gets distorted by solar winds. ============================
