Ans. ...​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.

The strength of the field at the Earth's surface ranges from less than 30 microteslas (0.3 gauss) in an area including most of South America and South Africa to over 60 microteslas (0.6 gauss) around the magnetic poles in northern Canada and south of Australia, and in part of Siberia.

2.Our magnetic field and atmosphere act like a superhero's shield, protecting us from the majority of the solar wind blast. Most of the charged particles crash into Earth's shield and flow around it. The particles squish and flatten the side of the magnetic field that faces the Sun.
