Answer:
ionized particles from the sun.
* interactions in radiation belts.
* the friction of the planet in the solar wind
q = +9 10⁵ C
Explanation:
Due to being made up of matter, the planet Earth has a series of positive and negative charges, in general these charges should be balanced and the net charge of the planet should be zero, but there are several phenomena that introduce unbalanced charges, for example:
* ionized particles from the sun.
* interactions in radiation belts.
* the friction of the planet in the solar wind
This creates that the planet has a net electrical load
We can roughly calculate the charge of the planet
E = k q / r²
q = E r² / k
let's calculate
q = 200 (6.37 10⁶)²/9 10⁹
q = +9 10⁵ C
