The connection between them is Vitamin D.

Vitamin D can be obtained from food and supplements, or synthesized by our bodies when we receive UV radiation in our skin, which is our major source. However, this vitamin comes <span>inactivated</span> and the only way to activate it is through enzymatic conversion (hydroxylation) in the liver and later in the kidneys.

 This vitamin is necessary in the intestines because allows calcium and phosphorus to be observed, leading to normal growth and development of bones and teeth. Without enough vit D, bones become fragile, causing osteoporosis.

How does the feild that surrounds the electromagnet differ from the Earths magnetic field
tino4ka555 [31]

The differences between the geomagnetism and electromagnetism are given below.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Geomagnetism is defined as the magnetic field that is located all around the earth. Whereas electromagnetism is defined as the magnetic field that is produced due to passing of electricity through a conductor.

The geomagnetism is formed because of the molten elements of iron etc which are present inside Earth's core, and are continuously moving. It mostly resembles the solid block magnet in its field characteristics. But electromagnetism is different. It can be changed according to the current input which isn't possible for Earth’s magnetic field.
