  2. A magnetosphere is a region around an astronomical object, such as a planet. It is the region where charged particles are affected by the object's magnetic field. The magnetosphere of the Sun is called the heliosphere. Ions and electrons of the solar wind are deflected by the heliosphere. Since a magnetosphere is magnetic, it is invisible.

  3. All About Earth’s Magnetism - Easy Science For Kids

    easyscienceforkids.com/all-about-earths-magnetism

    Earths magnetosphere, a massive invisible shield generated by the planet’s magnetism, serves as a crucial protective barrier against the dangerous solar wind and cosmic radiation emanating from the sun and space. This magnetism is a byproduct of the churning liquid iron within Earth’s outer core.

    Earth is surrounded by a giant magnetic bubble called the magnetosphere, which is is part of a dynamic, interconnected system that responds to solar, planetary, and interstellar conditions. A magnetosphere is the region around a planet dominated by the planet’s magnetic field.

  5. Earth's magnetic field facts for kids - Kids encyclopedia

    kids.kiddle.co/Earth's_magnetic_field

    The magnetosphere is created by the magnetic field. It is the area around the Earth that acts as a shield against the harmful particles in solar wind. The magnetosphere has many different layers and structures, and solar wind shapes each of these layers.

    A magnetosphere is a region around an astronomical object, such as a planet. It is the region where charged particles are affected by the object's magnetic field . [1] [2] The magnetosphere of the Sun is called the heliosphere .

  9. Science Made Simple: What Is Earth’s Magnetosphere?

    scitechdaily.com/science-made-simple-what-is-earths...

    The magnetosphere is a result of Earths internal magnetic field, produced by the rotation and convection of conductive materials in its core. This magnetic field extends into space, acting as a shield against the solar wind, thereby forming the magnetosphere.
