The Magnificent Magnetic Field Around Earth
Earth’s magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth’s interior to where it meets the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun. This magnetic field is invisible but is vital for life on Earth’s surface.
- Scientists understand that Earth’s magnetic field has flipped its polarity many times over the millennia. **Shedding light on its importance, the knowledge can provide clues to understanding the future evolution of Earth, as well as the evolution of other planets in the solar system.

The magnetosphere is a strong magnetic field that surrounds our planet. Acting as a shield, it deflects most solar energetic particle radiation that emanates from the Sun. For along with light, hot gases spew from the Sun and travel at a speed of a million miles an hour through space.
