magnetosphere, its the magnetic lines of force generated by the moving magma inside the earth. It stops energized particles hitting the earth because a charged particle moving in a magnetic field creates a force perpendicular to the lines of force and the particle spirals down them to strike the earth at the poles. (the magnetic pole just happen to be near the rotational poles at this time) This all is the source of the northern (and southern) lights.
