What is the name of the area surrounding earth that is influenced by earths magnetic fields?

The area surrounding Earth that is influenced by Earth's magnetic fields is called the magnetosphere. Its primary function is to protect the planet from the solar wind and cosmic rays by deflecting charged particles.


What is the area surrounding earth that is influenced by earths magnetic field?

The region surrounding Earth that is influenced by Earth's magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. This region helps protect Earth from harmful solar radiation and charged particles from the sun by deflecting them away from the planet. The magnetosphere extends into space and interacts with solar winds to create phenomena like the auroras.


What continent is the biggest on Earth?

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth in terms of both land area and population. It covers around 30% of the Earth's land area and is home to over 60% of the world's population.


What is the P Earth desalination plants area?

The total area occupied by desalination plants on Earth is about 50,000 acres. This area includes various types of desalination facilities located in different regions around the world.


What occurs when air particles press down on earth?

When air particles press down on Earth, they create atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted on a surface by the weight of the air above it. This pressure decreases with elevation due to a decrease in the density of the air column above.

How big are Auroras?

Auroras have no definite size. They occur when charged particles from the Sun ionize particles in the upper atmosphere as they spiral in toward Earth's magnetic field. Auroras may be localized in one area, or may extend from horizon to horizon in the sky.


What is the difference between electric force and electric field?

The electric force is the attraction or repulsion between charged particles, while the electric field is the region around a charged object where other charged particles experience a force. In simpler terms, the electric force is the actual push or pull between charges, while the electric field is the area where this force can be felt.


Do charged particles from solar wind come closest to Earth at the equator?

No. Charged particles come closest to Earth at the poles. This is because the Earth's magnetosphere has magnetic field lines that are generated from and reenter the poles. As such, the area near the equator is most protected by the magnetosphere, as it extends outward from the poles, surrounding the Earth. And the magnetosphere is weakest at the points of intersection at the poles. When charged particles are deflected by the magnetosphere, they follow these magnetic field lines, and reenter our atmosphere at the poles. High-energy radiation generated by these charged particles interacting with gases in the atmosphere is the reason for the auroras (Northern and Southern lights). This is why, subsequent to a solar flare that sends a strong wind of particles toward the Earth, you are likely to see more intense auroras. Because of the nature of fusion (which makes the sun what it is, as an active star), the most common particles composing the solar wind are: neutrinos (neutral particles, very small masses), electrons (negatively charged, often easily deflected by the magnetosphere), and protons (positively charged, the largest danger to us from the solar wind, because they counter the charge of the magnetosphere and reenter our atmosphere most easily).

Who was the one who stated that electrons are found in definite orbits?

Neils Bohr, in 1913. He depicted an atom as a small area of positively charged particles in the middle and electrons circulating this in orbits around the outside.


What does magnetosphere protect us from?

The Magnetosphere is that area of space, around a planet, that is controlled by the planet's magnetic field. The shape of the Earth's magnetosphere is the direct result of being blasted by solar wind. It does not attract the solar wind but it defends life on our planet by preventing most of the particles from the Sun, carried in the solar wind, from hitting the Earth.
