Summary

Description
English: Conceptual AnimationThis animation shows energetic particles from the Sun interacting with Earth’s magnetic field, called the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is another one of Earth’s fundamental global fields. It originates from the churning of hot, liquid metals in our planet’s core and extends thousands of miles out into space. Our magnetosphere protects us from much of the radiation we encounter in the universe, including the Sun’s energetic particles (shown here coming from the left side of the animation). When these particles run into the magnetosphere, they tend to flow around it like air deflected by the nose of a supersonic jet.Credit: NASA/Conceptual Image Lab
