Prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface?

∙ 14y ago
The Earth is protected from the sun's charged particles by its magnetic field. The Earths magnetic field is generated within its molten iron core. Other examples of planets with magnetic fields include: Mercury, Jupiter, Ganymede (Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system) , Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.Mercury has a relitivley weak magnetic field. It is so weak that the suns charged particles can reach the surface of Mercury.

What are the charged particles that escape from the corona?
The particles are called solar wind. It is what auroras are, the pretty lights you see in Alaska. They escape the corona continually, and that's why you see them alot.Material in the Sun's corona is continually streaming out into space. The electrically charged particles that flow out in all directions from the corona are called the The solar wind extends throughout our solar system. Most of the solar wind flowing toward Earth is safely guided around the planet by Earth's magnetic field. When solar-wind particles do enter the upper atmosphere, they release energy, which can produce beautiful patterns of glowing light in the sky. Such displays of light are called auroras (uh-RAWR-uhz), or the northern and southern lights. Auroras often occur near the poles. Earth's atmosphere usually prevents charged particles from reaching the surface. However, during the peak of the sunspot cycle, flares and other kinds of solar activity release strong bursts of charged particles into the solar wind. These bursts, called magnetic storms, can disrupt electric-power delivery across large regions by causing surges in power lines. They can also interfere with radio communication. Magnetic storms are much more harmful above the protective layers of Earth's atmosphere. Bursts of particles in the solar wind can damage or destroy orbiting satellites. The solar wind also poses a danger to astronauts during space flights.
How have these space particles been allowed to bombard the moons surface?
the moon has no atomoshere
What factors could affect the amount of sunlight reaching the earth's surface and decrease the flux of solar energy?
same question
What is intercepted solar?
intercepted solar or intercepted insolation are part of the sun rays or power that was prevented to reaching solar panel on earth surface, a) dust b) humidity c) cloud d) rain. these factors either disperse or absorb the solar insolation thereby intercepting it reaching the earth surface or the panel.
What must be available for water vapor to condense and form clouds?
it usually needs solid particles or a solid surface
What prevents electrically charged particles coming from space space from reaching the earth's surface?
The Earth's magnetic field, although it does not deflect all charged particles; it only deflects most of them.
What prevents particles from the sun from reaching the surface?
Charged particles from the Sun will not reach the surface of the Earth because they are mostly deflected around it by the Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere), but where the particles are deflected towards the surface near the Earth's magnetic poles, they interact with the gas high in the atmosphere to form the Auroras and do not penetrate through to the surface.

What prevents some of the sun's radiation from reaching earth's surface?

Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
Does reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent ozone from reaching earths surface?
Sorry, but your data is wrong. Nitrogen does reach the surface. Its 4/5 th of the atmosphere.
What can cause a change in climate due to dust particles?
dust particles in the atmosphere can block sunlight reaching the surface of the planet causing temp to drop.
How prominence like sunspot?
Solar prominences are gouts of charged particles carried from the surface of the sun into space. These particles are carried by magnetic fields, but of course the surface of the Sun is too hot for any magnetic material (>6 000oC). The source of the magnetic field in turn is caused by huge electrical currents of charged particles near the Sun's surface.

What effect would an increase in clouds have on earth's climate?
Cloud cover prevents Sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, keeping the earth cooler.Cloud cover prevents heat escaping into space, keeping the Earth warmer.
What are hot gases that expand away from the surface of the sun?
These are often charged particles, like alpha and beta particles, or free protons. They are grouped together to be called the solar wind.
How does oiling of metals prevent rusting?
The oily layer prevents water and air from reaching the metal's surface and causing the metal to rust.
