Earth's magnetic field

in shape, size, and power. As these clouds move away from the Sun they can change speeds, and carry magnetic clouds from the magnetic fields of the Sun. In the beginning, solar wind greatly affected the shape of the solar system. Its power has stripped the once water abundant Mars and turned it into the dusty red planet it is today. Each planet can be affected differently given their magnetic fields and…

With the discovery of water on Mars, the life expectation on Mars is increased in the minds of people. According to NASA, it is found that early atmosphere of Mars was as thick as or even thicker than Earth’s atmosphere today. NASA has also discovered that the air on Mars, whatever is left, is leaking into the space at a speed of half a pound per second. The new readings taken by NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission, shortly known as Maven, show that whenever a solar storm hits…

possibility of life in depth. It only takes them a few days to reach the Mars using the Electro Magnetic Drive enabled spacecraft. Unfortunately, right after they land on Mars, an unpredicted extreme solar wind and coronal mass ejection also arrive, breaking the engine, the communication system, and several other machines. The survival situation has begun: Before repairing all the electronics, they must fix the force field generating machine first to protect them…

Neptune's rotation axis is relative to the sun. The magnetic axis is not aligned with its rotation. The magnetic field environment has a look like a lopsided shape . The field at the surface of the planet depends on which hemisphere is being measured. When Neptune is rotating in the solar wind, the magnetic field of Neptune goes through dramatic changes. The magnetic field polarity of Neptune is the opposite to the Earth. Although the voyager was sent to Neptune…

ET. Shortly after, at 8:02 a.m ET, the star spewed out a bigger, and more dramatic, X9.3 flare — the strongest on record since December 2006. Solar flares, or storms, beginning with an explosion usually above a sunspot, the area where strong magnetic fields poke through the sun's surface. When these spots become unstable, they erupt, releasing significant amounts of energy. Solar flares are classified into one of five categories — A, B, C, M, or X — with each letter indicating an explosion that…

some of the bad science they have would be in the movie they say the earth’s magnetic fields wipes out all life every 700,000 years. If the core was to stop rotating then the earth would stop rotating since we are not connected to earth. We would all fall off and die. So, if that were true how are we here? They say as long as the outer core is still rotating and generating electromagnetic dynamo this is what creates the magnetic field, this helps prevent breakdowns and decay in the movie.…

is very energetic and violently ejects the particles in a solar flare or coronal mass ejection (CME). In the simplest explanation, aurorae are produced when these charged particles collide with Earth’s magnetic field and spiral down along magnetic field lines where their energy interacts with gases in Earth’s atmosphere. The result causes the gases at various levels in the atmosphere to glow or give off light.…

In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s arrival to planet Mars, Deputy project scientist Dr. Leslie Tamppari presented a summary of NASA’s research and discoveries. Within the last decade, over two hundred and fifty terabytes of data have been sent home by the spacecraft, giving us insight about the Red Planet during the ongoing search of water and habitable zones. The idea of water on Mars has such high relevance because it is a necessity to any type of…

the Muggles see on Earth and in the universe, it may not hold true in the Wizarding world. Section B Mercury Mercury lacks an atmosphere. As a result, the planet experiences wild temperature swings. Mercury's magnetic field is about 1/100th that of Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field is generated by the planet's core. Venus…

because they're so pretty and unique.Well I've done a lot of research and have found out its because of the sun and the Earth’s magnetic field. The Northern Lights,Aurora Borealis, Aurora Australis,or Southern Lights are formed when storms on the sun form solar winds, also know as large streams of charged particles streaming toward the Earth.The excited atoms reach the Earth's atmosphere and produce heat which gives us light! Did you know that the way they give their colors is gases?…
