Why doesn't solar wind have a great impact on earth?
Question:
b. the earh's atmosphere deflects the solar wind
c. we are too far away to be reached by the solar wind
d. the solar wind blows in a direction perpendicular to our orbit
pls give proof why you chose that letter..ty^^.
Answer:
b. Obviously, a is wrong; the moon is on the far side of the earth half the time. Also, c is wrong, because the solar wind goes well past Earth's orbit. Answer d is true, but is irrelevant: the direction does not matter.

B. The Eath's atmosphere deflects the solar wind. The Solar wind is comprised of charged particles. The earth is like a magnet with a north and a south pole. As magnets do, the magnetic earth deflects the oppositely charged particles and sends them around the earth and out behind us to space. Where the charged particles of the solar wind do enter our atmosphere and interact with the earth is where the Aurara Borealus is seen.
The Earth's magnetosphere blocks and deflects the solar wind. It's the Earth's magnetic field. Without it, the particles from the sun would destroy all life on Earth. None of your choices would be correct. The atmosphere (b) would give us little protection.
