Research the solar wind and what happens when the solar wind interacts with Earth’s magnetic field. Begin by looking for images and credible sites on the Internet or refer to some books in a library. If searching on the Internet, include the search term magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is the magnetic field surrounding a planet where charged particles are trapped. Answer the following questions:

What is the solar wind?
What happens when Earth’s magnetic field interacts with the solar wind?
What are the Van Allen belts and how are they related to Earth’s magnetic field?
What are auroras and how are they related to Earth’s magnetic field?
Does Earth’s magnetic field protect the planet from the solar wind?

The solar wind is a stream of radiation particles generated by the Sun's corona, whereas Earth’s magnetic field acts to deflect solar winds.

What is solar wind?

The solar wind is a stream of radiation particles that are released from the last layer of the Sun (Sun's corona).

Earth’s magnetic field acts to deflect solar winds, where the Van Allen belt refers to the area of charged particles in the magnetosphere.

Finally, the aurora is produced by the collisions between charged particles from solar winds and gases present in the last layer of the atmosphere.

Answer:

Yes, I'm late I'm sorry but here's my answer.

Explanation:

1. Solar wind is the solar wind is a stream of radiation particles that are released from the last layer of the Sun and the Earth’s magnetic field acts to deflect solar winds, where as the Van Allen belt refers to the area of charged particles in the magnetosphere. The aurora is produced by the collisions between charged particles from solar winds and gases present in the last layer of the atmosphere. 

2. When the solar wind encounters Earth, it is deflected by our planet's magnetic shield, causing most of the solar wind's energetic particles to flow around us. 

3. The Van Allen radiation belt is a zone of energetic charged particles, which can originate from the solar wind. The particles are then captured by and held around a planet by that planet's magnetic field.

4. An aurora is that natural light displayed in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions. Auroras are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by the solar wind.

5.  Yes
