Charged particles emitted continuously by the sun are known as the Solar Wind. It is mostly deflected by the Earth's magnetic field, but can be 'witnessed' around the poles when it interacts with the atmosphere and causes the Aurora - called the Aurora Borealis in the north and the Aurora Australis in the south - which shows up as an apparently moving 'curtain' of coloured light.

The shape of the magnetic fields around the earth is influenced by the 'aurora borealis' or 'solar wind'?
Solar wind.
What happens when solar wind approaches earths atmosphere?
When solar wind approaches the earth's atmosphere a collision occurs. This creates light.
What renewable energy source do you use to heat the earth?
Wood, solar energy, wind.
How does solar energy affect weather?
Solar energy affects earth's weather in a couple of different ways. Solar energy warms the planet and creates the wind.
What does uneven heat from sun cause to the earth?
(Wind)
When solar flares increase solar wind from corona what do they cause earth upper atmosphere?
The Aurora.
When solar flares increase solar wind from corona what do they cause in earth's upper atmosphere?
The Aurora.
Gusts of solar wind can cause?
Solar wind is comes from the sun and can cause evaporation to any water that is not within our Earth's magnetic field. In humans it can cause cancer and death if we were exposed to too much of it.
Why doesn't solar wind typically reach earth?
That is the cause of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) on the Earth.
Sentence using the word solar wind?
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.
The shape of the magnetic fields around the earth is influenced by the 'aurora borealis' or 'solar wind'?
Solar wind.
What is the Difference between solar wind and earth wind?
the differenc between solor wind and earth wind is that earth wind comes from the earth its self, and solor wind comes the sun which causes the planets to space out from each other.
Sentences using the word solar?
The ozone protects Earth from intense 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.
What happens when solar wind approaches earths atmosphere?
When solar wind approaches the earth's atmosphere a collision occurs. This creates light.
