How would the earth affect the earth if earth did not have a magnetic field?

Our Sun provides the energy which allows life to exist on Earth. It is the dominant energy source for the Earth, dwarfing that produced by mankind: in an hour, the Earth receives more energy from the Sun than we generate in a Year. Knowledge of how solar energy is transferred to the Earth, and in particular how variations in solar output produces changes in our climate, is therefore essential to predict our future.

Does the earth rotation effect the sun in any way?
If there is any effect at all, it would need to be a very tiny one. The only way that the Earth's rotation might affect the Sun would be in the way the Earth's rotation generates Earth's magnetic field. Our magnetic field affects the way that coronal mass ejections, huge bubbles of ionized gas from the Sun, behave when they get close. But the Sun has a magnetic field of its own, much stronger than the Earth's field, and it is unlikely that the Earth's magnetic field would affect the Sun or the Sun's magnetic field in more than a minuscule fashion.
Does water affect the magnetic field?
No it doesnt affect it. In fact there are some compasses that utilize water as a surface. If the water caused a problem with the magnetic field of the earth, it would be useless for creating a compass; it would never be correct.
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.
How would you use the Earth's magnetic field to tell you where on Earth you are?
You can't. The only thing the earth's magnetic field can tell you is the direction from where you are toward the earth's magnetic pole. That doesn't tell you anything about where you are.
What would happen if the earth didn't have a magnetic field?
If we didn't have the earth's magnetic field, eventually all of the harmful and deadly rays from the sun would destroy life on earth.
Would an asteroid fragment generate a magnetic field when entering the earth's atmosphere?
Yes, it generate a magnetic field when it enters into the earth atmosphere.
How does water affect the magnet field?
No it doesnt affect it. In fact there are some compasses that utilize water as a surface. If the water caused a problem with the magnetic field of the earth, it would be useless for creating a compass; it would never be correct.
Does disturbances in Earth's magnetic field cause auroras?
Not quite but they would affect the auroras. The physical, light-emitting reaction is that between charged particles from the Sun and the field.
What effect does the biosphere have on lithosphere?
Well, Biosphere is the complete ecological system of Earth. Hence, it would include everything from the Core to the Earth's Magnetic Field. The biosphere can affect the lithosphere through - Earth's the Magnetic Field causes slight movements within the Core (as it is made out of Nickel and Iron, which are highly magnetic), this would cause the shifts in crust movements, which in turn COULD (NOT CAN) result in earthquakes.
What would happened if the magnetic field of the earth inverse?
Nothing.
What if earth's magnetic field did not occasionally reverse polarity?
We expect Earth would still have a magnetic field during a reversal, but it would be weaker than normal with multiple magnetic poles. Radio communication would deteriorate, navigation by magnetic compass would be difficult and migratory animals might have problems. Many migratory animals use the geomagnetic field to orient themselves. However, even if Earth's magnetic field began a reversal, it would still take several thousand years to complete a reversal.
Would compass work in centre of earth?
no because of the magnetic field.
