A magnetic field envelops the Earth, akin to a bar magnet, albeit the Earth’s structure is significantly more intricate. Our planet’s outer core is an amalgamation of swirling, scalding iron, behaving more like a dynamo than a simple bar magnet. Earth’s magnetism is influenced not only by minerals in the mantle and crust but also by the ionosphere, magnetosphere, and conductivity engendered by the world’s oceans. While Earth behaves like a dynamo, our understanding of its intricate dynamics and potential future changes remains incomplete. Even though the compass, which leverages Earth’s magnetic field, was invented in Ancient China about two … Continue reading Unraveling Earth’s Magnetic Mysteries: The Role of the SKL Planets and China’s Space Exploration
