I do not know for sure but I think that auroras would occur.

Earth's magnetic field affects?
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.

How does Earth's magnetic field benefit to life?
For the planet : none. For the planet as we know it: it shields us from the solar wind, a flow of high energy particles that the sun emits (solar flares,ect.) ,much as the ozone layer protects us from ultraviolet radiation.
What is a stream of charged particles created by the corona?
Solar wind.
Which layer do light gases escape earths gravity?
Earth's lighter gases such as Hydrogen and Helium will rise to the top of the atmosphere. Since they are very light, they will easily be knocked awry by the solar wind, the stream of charged particles coming from the Sun.
What do charged particles from the sun that get close to the earths surface produce?
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It mostly consists of electrons and protons with energies usually between 10 and 100 keV. The stream of particles varies in temperature and speed over time. These particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high kinetic energy and the high temperature of the corona.The solar wind creates the heliosphere, a vast bubble in the interstellar medium that surrounds the solar system. Other phenomena include geomagnetic storms that can knock out power grids on Earth, the aurorae (northern and southern lights), and the plasma tails of comets that always point away from the Sun.
When solar flares increase solar wind from the corona what do they cause in the upper atmosphere?
It increases the number of particles reaching the Earth's upper atmosphere. Normally, Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field block these particles. However, near the North and South poles, the particles can enter Earth's atmosphere, where they create powerful electric currents that cause gas and molecules in the atmosphere to glow. The result is rippling sheets of light in the sky called auroras.1 word for it would be?the aurora borealis
What layer in the atmosphere where charged solar particles are formed?
ionesphere

Where are the Auroras?
The constituent particles of the solar wind are trapped by the earth's magnetic field and enter the earth's upper atmosphere as aurora. It is described as aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere.
Why cant all the wavelengths enter the earth's atmosphere?
The atmosphere absorbs the electromagnetic solar radiation.
Light in the northern sky caused by solar particles interacting with the atmosphere?
aurora
What happens when solar wind approaches earths atmosphere?
When solar wind approaches the earth's atmosphere a collision occurs. This creates light.
What surrounds the Earth's atmosphere?
The magnetosphere, an area of charged particles that interact with the solar wind.
What causes solar storms?
Solar winds are caused by charged particles that are ejected into the upper atmosphere of the sun. The sun continues to make these streams of charged particles and sending them into space.
