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.

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.
Are the northern lights th same as a rainbow or are they not the same?
The aurora borealis is the interaction of solar wind plasma with Earths magnetic field. A rainbow is the refraction of light through rain drops. They are not the same phenomena.
How are solar storms connected to the moon?
No. Solar storms are the result of complex interactions in the sun's magnetic field. The moon plays absolutely no role.
Does the earth's atmosphere revolve with it?
The atmosphere is effected by the rotation of the earth, its magnetic field, and solar winds primarily.
Is the northern lights a gateway to another world?
Nope.They're just the solar winds being colored by the magnetic field.
When the solar wind collides with the earth's magnetic field what do we observe?
The Aurora's.Northern Hemisphere - Aurora borealisSouthern Hemisphere - Australis borealis
How are 'Southern lights' formed?
bright lights from the solar wind trapped in the earths magnetic field.
Why do electrons in the solar wind usually end up at earths poles?
They get trapped in the Earth's magnetic field.
What effects does the solar wind have on the earths magnetic field?
Solar wind has a large effect on the earth.. It brings these clouds (cant remember name) down. which affects electricity very much. Due to the magnetic field of the clouds
Is it true that charged particles from the solar wind come closest to earth at the equator where earths magnetic field lines dip to earths surface?
t
What does the inner magma in the Earth do?
The inner magama rotates creating earths magnetic field which stops solar wind
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.
When the northern lights and southern occur what interacts with earths magnetic field?
Energetic charged particles generated by the solar wind.
The region of Earths magnetic field shaped by solar wind?
magnetosphere i had to do this for school in 6th grade
How does Earths magnetic field benefit humans?
Earth's magnet field shields humans from dangerous radiation form the sun and protects the earth's atmosphere form the solar wind. Without the magnetic field, there would be no human life on earth.
What is the relationship between the solar wind and the earths magnetic field?

What are the earths two kind of protection against solar winds?
Earth itself is largely protected from the solar wind by its magnetic field, which deflects most of the charged particles; however some of the charged particles are trapped in the Van Allen radiation belt. XxBaby Dee
