Answer 2

Answer:

It keeps the solar wind from reaching Earth.

Explanation:

Solar Wind corresponds to the emission of particles from the solar corona. The mechanism by which the Solar Wind is formed is still not exactly known. So far, it is known that it consists of a plasma composed of electrons, protons and sub-particles like neutrinos. This plasma is composed of particles loaded with ionized atoms with greater weight and which undergo an acceleration caused by the thermonuclear reactions of the Sun, being then fired in all directions with high speeds, reaching approximately 400 km / s. When close to Earth, the particles can reach up to 800 km / s and have densities around 10 particles per cubic centimeter.

The evolution of the studies has already allowed the identification of some effects caused by the Solar Wind. The tails of comets have their orientation defined exactly due to the Solar Wind. Another registered effect is the change in planetary magnetic fields, because the magnetic field protects the planet against the effects of the solar wind, but ends up being damaged.

In addition, the Solar Wind also interferes with the propagation of radio waves, has an effect on the flight track of space vehicles and can directly influence the Earth's climate when solar flares are very violent.
