Summary

[edit]
Description

The Earth has a magnet field called the magnetosphere. The area of space around the Earth that is controlled by its magnetic field is called its magnetosphere.

The magnetosphere prevents most of the particles from the Sun, carried in the solar wind, from hitting the Earth and pushes these particles sideways so they don't hit the earth head on.
