Earth's magnetic field is about 25 to 65 microteslas in strength at the surface. The magnetic field extends from the Earth's interior out into space, creating a protective buffer against solar wind and cosmic radiation.

Earth is what kind of magnet?

Its an electro-magnet - currents flowing through the iron core.


Why is the world an really big magnet?

i think the world is a big magnet because of its magnetic force field or the gravity in the earth i really do not know i am just gussed sorry i do not know a really good answer


In what ways does the Earth resemble a magnet?

The Earth resembles a magnet in that it has a magnetic field that extends from its core, similar to how a magnet has a magnetic field around it. This magnetic field helps protect the Earth from harmful solar radiation and plays a role in the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates.


Is it true earth has a magnet field?

Yes


The earth is a big what in magnetism?

Magnet


What causes the magnet compass to react with a magnet?

a compass works by detecting the earths magnetic field. a magnet also has amagnetic field just not as big so the compass needle points at the magnet ratherthan towards north.Another AnswerThe compass needle is a small bar magnet balanced on a pin. It swivels freely on this balance point. This is how it can align with the magnetic field of the Earth to show what direction magnetic north is. When you introduce another magnetic field, like from a magnet in close proximity, the needle will align with these local fields since their field strength is stronger than Earth's magnetic field - locally.


What kind of magnet has a field that is about the same shape of Earth's magnetic field?

A bar magnet with its north and south poles located at its ends has a magnetic field that roughly resembles Earth's magnetic field. This is because both the bar magnet and Earth have magnetic field lines that loop from one pole to the other in a similar pattern.


Does the earth have a magnet field?

yes. this is how a compas works


If you hang a magnet on a piece of string what would it do?

If you hang a magnet on a piece of string, the magnet will align itself in the magnetic field of the Earth and point in a north-south direction. This is because the magnet is trying to align with the Earth's magnetic field.


Do screws used in making furniture experience earth's magnetic field?

yes definetely coz earth itself behaves like a big magnet therefore screw will experience both gravitational as well as earth's magnetic field.


Why earth has magnetic power?

This is a really simple answer, as I am only 10, but the Earth itself is a big magnet, as it has a a core of molten iron. The iron in the core, acts as a magnet and therefore, exerts its own magnetic field. Sorry it is so simple!
