Is it true that the center of the earth is called a vent?

No, the center of the earth is called the core.


What hits the Earth's magnetosphere?

The sun outputs a stream of charged particles called the solar wind, These particles travel through space and if they come near the Earth, the Earth's magnetic field captures them and guides them towards the poles. This magnetic trap and its captured stream of particles is called the magnetosphere even though it is tear drop shaped with the tail pointing away from the sun.


Is the center of the earth called the crust?

No, the center of the Earth is not called the crust; it is called the core. The Earth is composed of several layers: the outer crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. The crust is the outermost layer, while the core, located beneath the mantle, consists of a liquid outer core and a solid inner core.


How does energy from the sun flow to earth to create the auroras?

The auroras are primarily the result of charged subatomic particles from the sun, and their deflection toward the poles by the Earth's magnetic field. The swarm of particles is often called, picturesquely, the 'solar wind'.


The remains of extraterrestrial particles that are found on earth surface is called what?

The remains of extraterrestrial particles found on Earth's surface are commonly referred to as "micrometeorites." These tiny particles originate from comets, asteroids, and other celestial bodies and can enter Earth's atmosphere, surviving the journey to land on the surface. They provide valuable information about the composition of the solar system and the processes that shaped it.
