Its the magnetic field of the Earth that protects us from the solar wind. This deflects the stream of charged particles away from us, creating the magnetosphere.

What does magnetosphere protect us from?
The Magnetosphere is that area of space, around a planet, that is controlled by the planet's magnetic field. The shape of the Earth's magnetosphere is the direct result of being blasted by solar wind. It does not attract the solar wind but it defends life on our planet by preventing most of the particles from the Sun, carried in the solar wind, from hitting the Earth.
What feature can increase the solar wind sometimes causing electrical problems on earth?
Solar Flares
The earth's magnetic field helps shield it from the solar wind?
That is true.
Is it true that solar wind occurs as gusts of winds on the sun similar to strong wind gusts on the earth?
True.
Why is the magnetosphere much larger on the nightside of earth than on the dayside?
On the dayside of the Earth, the field is squashed and measures 6 to 10 times the radius of Earth. However, on the nightside, the solar wind stretches the magnetosphere out to 1000 times Earth's radius.
Sentence using the word solar wind?
The ozone protects Earth from intense solar wind.
Sentences using the word solar?
The ozone protects Earth from intense solar wind.
What do these tornadoes with there currents create around the earth to protect it from the suns solar wind?
Tornadoes have nothing to do with protecting Earth from the solar wind. Convection currents in Earth's core create a magnetic field that protects against the solar wind.
Why does most of the solar wind reach earth?
The solar wind emanates from the Sun and goes out past the orbits of the outermost planets, impinging on all the planets as it does so. The vacuum of space does not slow these ionized particles. However, where a planet has a magnetic field (such as the Earth), this protects the planet from the effects of the solar wind by deflecting the charged particles. Thus the solar wind does not reach the surface of the Earth.
When the solar wind collides with the earth's magnetic field?
When the solar wind collides with the earth's magnetic field , the field becomes distorted and deflects the solar wind around the earth. This protects and preserves the earth's atmosphere and shields the earth from much deadly solar radiation.
Purpose of the magnetosphere?
The Earth's magnetic field (magnetosphere) deflects ionized radiation coming from the Sun and the Cosmos. This radiation is of high enough energy to break apart molecules and could destroy DNA ans RNA so replication of cells (growth and procreation) would be seriously hampered.
The earth's magnetic shield is important because it?
The most important use for the magnetic shield is that it protects our atmosphere from the solar wind. The solar wind is a bunch of charged particles that is emitted and shot from the sun in all directions. These particles will pound away a planet's atmosphere, much like waves in the ocean pound away a rocky coastline. The magnetic shield steers the solar wind away from our atmosphere and thus protecting it.
What is the connection between the sun's energy and the wind?
Solar energy powers most other forms of energy on Earth, including the wind.
The shape of the magnetic fields around the earth is influenced by the 'aurora borealis' or 'solar wind'?
Solar wind.
What does magnetosphere attract?
The Magnetosphere is that area of space, around a planet, that is controlled by the planet's magnetic field. The shape of the Earth's magnetosphere is the direct result of being blasted by solar wind. It does not attract the solar wind but it defends life on our planet by preventing most of the particles from the Sun, carried in the solar wind, from hitting the Earth.
Why has the Earth's magnetic field allowed life to develop?
The shield protects life on earth from deadly radiation by deflecting the radiation away from the atmosphere. It also prevents the atmosphere from being blown away by the solar wind.
