Where is earths moon located?
earths moon is located basicly on the earths gravitational pull called the ionosphere which is the highest magnetic field of earth
How far is earths magnetic axis tilted from its geographic axis?
The Earth's magnetic field is tilted about 11.5 degrees from the Earth's axis of rotation (i.e. its geographic axis).
How strong is the sun's magnetic field?
Earth's magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with the magnetic field South pole near the Earth's geographic north pole (see Magnetic North Pole) and the other magnetic field N pole near the Earth's geographic south pole (see Magnetic South Pole). This makes the compass usable for navigation. The cause of the field can be explained by dynamo theory. A magnetic field extends infinitely, though it weakens with distance from its source. The Earth's magnetic field, also called the geomagnetic field, which effectively extends several tens of thousands of kilometres into space, forms the Earth's magnetosphere. A paleomagnetic study of Australian red dacite and pillow basalt has estimated the magnetic field to be at least 3.5 billion years old.
Prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface?
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. +++ Also the atmosphere.
Why is maglev technology currently being developed for launching spacecraft?
Maglev tech is being developed for spacecrafts because the earth is one big magnet with is magnetic field therefore when it goes into space the speed will be easier because it will repel againts earths magnetic field :D
Why is the earths magnetic field is important because it?
It's important because it protects us from the suns radiation.
What is earths magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
Is earths core a source of earths magnetic field?
Yes.
How are the Earths magnetic field made?
It is made by the movement of the earths core and magma field
Earth's magnetic field results from the spinning of the?
The earths magnetic field results from deep in the earths core. Magnetic conduction from within the earths core is believed to be the cause of this.
Why do scientists believe that the inner core is the source of earths magnetic field?
because it has the hydro electric power to control the earths magnetic field
How is earths magnetic field used by people and animals?
the earths magnetic signature is a negative polarity signature
Where does the earth's magnetic field get its power from?
earths magnetic field is generated by the circulation of liquid metal.
What is the region of the earths magnetic field?
magnetosphere
What is the magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
Why is earths magnetic field impotant?
The earth's magnetic field is important in that it prevents the sun's solar radiation from killing life on earth by wiping out the earth's atmosphere and deflecting dangerous radiation.
What is another word for earths magnetic field?
= An effect of the magnetic field is "Van Allen radiation belt" =
