This 'shield' is called an atmosphere, and it is there to hold all the elements humans require to survive such as oxygen, hydrogen and the other molecules in the air.

What does the shield around the earth look like?

The shield around the Earth is actually the planet's magnetosphere, which is invisible to the naked eye. It is a region of electrically charged particles that are held in place by the Earth's magnetic field. This magnetic field helps protect the planet from the harmful effects of solar wind and cosmic radiation.


What does the magnetosphere do to the solar winds?

The magnetosphere serves as a protective shield around Earth, deflecting and trapping most of the solar wind particles. This interaction creates phenomena like the auroras by redirecting charged particles from the solar wind towards the poles. Without the magnetosphere, solar winds would strip away Earth's atmosphere and water.


What causes the magnetosphere to exist?

The magnetosphere exists due to Earth's magnetic field, which is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core. This magnetic field extends out into space, forming a protective shield around the Earth that deflects charged particles from the solar wind.


What does the heat shield do on the command module?

As the module reenters earth's atmosphere the leading edge where the heat sheid is located gets very hot, red hot in fact. The ehat shield keeps the heat from penetrating the module to protect the electronic gear and passengers from the extreme heat. If the heat shield were not used the module would literally melt on reentry.
