The center core of the earth is solid iron surrounded by molten iron. The center is solid due to the great pressure and the spinning mass of molten iron around the solid iron core creates the electrodynamic effect that causes Earths magnetism. Our moon has little or no magnetic field because its core has long since cooled.

When the convection that causes earths magnetic field happens in earths what?

When convection occurs in Earth's outer core, it generates electric currents due to the movement of the molten iron and nickel. These electric currents create a magnetic field around the planet, known as the Earth's magnetic field. This magnetic field plays a crucial role in protecting Earth from solar winds and cosmic rays.
