A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...

For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet that sits some 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) below the surface.

If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely have little atmosphere to speak of. Life (at least of the human variety) ...

The Earth's magnetic field is a dynamic force that plays a crucial role in various aspects of our lives, including navigation systems and the planet's overall geomagnetic stability. Recent ...

But never fear — this shape-shifting won’t directly affect life on Earth. Over time, changes to this innermost layer could impact the planet’s magnetic field, which shields our world from ...
