Earth's Magnetic Field

The Earth's magnetic field protects us from harmful space radiation, but can also deflect some of the solar wind away from our planet. This can cause problems for satellites and astronauts, as well as disrupt communications on Earth.

The Earth's magnetic field is created by the earth's molten outer core rotating around the solid inner core.

The Earth's magnetic field has been weakening over the past few decades, and scientists are not sure why.

The weakening of the Earth's magnetic field could have serious consequences for our planet, including an increased risk of harmful space radiation reaching us and more severe disruptions to communications and satellite operations.
