Magnetic Field of the Earth
The Earth's magnetic field is similar to that of a bar magnet.The magnitude varies over the surface of the Earth in the range 0.3 to 0.6 Gauss.

Earth’s Magnetic Field
(not to scale)
Magnetosphere
EarthMagnetopause Sub-solar point
The solar wind pushes and stretches Earth’s magnetic field into comet-shaped region called the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere and Earth’s atmosphere protect us from the solar wind and other kinds of solar and cosmic radiation.
