Question
how does solar weather affect earths magnetosphere? select the two correct answers (1 point)
□ it develops solar wind.
□ it causes geomagnetic storms.
□ it generates auroras.
□ it forms radiation belts.
Solar weather events like coronal mass ejections can send charged - particle clouds towards Earth. These interact with the magnetosphere, causing geomagnetic storms. Also, the charged particles from solar weather can lead to the formation of auroras as they interact with Earth's upper atmosphere near the poles. Solar wind is a continuous stream from the Sun and is not a direct "effect on the magnetosphere" in the context of how solar weather changes it. Radiation belts are already present in Earth's magnetosphere and are not directly formed by solar weather in the sense of being a new formation due to a solar - weather event.
