Earth's magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the north pole and the other near the geographic south pole. The Inner Van Allen Belt & Outer Van Allen Belt cause the magnetic field.

Magnetosphere


How does the magnetosphere happen?

If we did not have the Magnetosphere we would die from harmful Solar Wind that the Magnetosphere blocks. The Magnetosphere is like our personal shield along with our atmosphere!


What does magnetosphere attract?

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.


What is the magnetosphere made of?

the sun and the Earth's magnetic field create the magnetosphere.

Does the shape of an object change its density?

Changing the shape CAN change the density. If you change it into a smaller shape, then you increase the density. However the mass will not change.


What has happened to Earth's magnetosphere over the thousands of years?

The Earth's magnetosphere has flipped. It is the opposite as it was thousands of years of go.


What does the magnetosphere attract with its magnetic force?

The magnetosphere primarily attracts and deflects charged particles from the solar wind, such as protons and electrons. These particles are trapped and guided along the magnetic field lines of the Earth's magnetosphere, creating phenomena like auroras.
