Scientists are observing an instrument called a coronagraph to block out the sun and allow them to measure the speed and intensity of the waves rippling through the coronal plasma. In 2016, researchers made observations from the coronagraph that let them look at it all at once. Decades ago the coronal waves’ can be used to collect the strength of the magnetic field. The corona’s magnetic field is a few times the strength of Earth’s magnetic field. As physicists monitor the coronal magnetic field, it can help them predict outbursts.

Why is it useful for us to learn more about the sun’s magnetic field?
What do you know about the Earth’s magnetic field, and what does it influence?
Do you think a magnet would work the same way on the sun as it does on the Earth?
I know nothing about the earths magnetic field-Caleb
ReplyDeleteI think it is useful to learn about the sun's magnetic field because we can learn how it affects the solar system and other planets. I think the Earth's magnetic field protects the earth from outside solar wind. -Kevin Gu
ReplyDeletethe more we know about the sun means we can understand how our planet is heated. Learning anything about our solar system is always useful.
ReplyDeleteI don't think a magnet would work very well on the sun, even ignoring all the heat.
ReplyDeleteIt is useful for us to learn more about the sun's magnetic field because it can help us learn more about the sun and space in general. - Steven Solomon
ReplyDeleteI know that the magnetic field is very important for life on earth. - Maddie Silk
ReplyDeleteIt is useful to learn about the suns magnetic field as it better explains why the solar system works how it does. Any information added is helpful in figuring out why things work how they do. Sarah LaChance
ReplyDeleteI think it is important that we are developing new ways to predict possible dangers.

I don't know a whole lot about Earth's magnetic field, but I think that a magnet would react differently on the sun than on Earth. -Campbell Marino
ReplyDeleteit can better help us understand our own magnetic field - Ryan Smith
ReplyDeleteI don't think a magnet would work on the sun
ReplyDeleteIt is useful to learn more about the strength of the sun's magnetic field because we can learn more about our earn magnetic field through it. The Earth's own magnetic field I believe influences the weather. -Joe Panthalani
ReplyDeleteI think it's useful for us to learn about the sun's magnetic field because it can explain how the solar system works.

ReplyDeleteunderstanding the magnetic field will help us understand new and different things about earth but also the solar system. Being able to understand both of these things is important so that we can prevent/control possible danger for the future. -Sophia Becklenberg
understanding the earths magnetic field is important for many things from its rotation around the sun to the agricultural impact it has on farmers - kendall d
ReplyDeleteIt is useful to know about the magnetic field because it is involved with a lot of aspects in the world. The magnetic field is generated by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of a mixture of molten iron and nickel in the Earth's outer core. -Erik E
ReplyDeleteIm not sure but I think Earths magnetic field controls gravity and which things orbit the earth for instance this would be why the moon doesn't drift off into space and stays in orbit.-John Ellis
ReplyDeleteit is useful for us to learn about the magnetic field -Ryan carter
ReplyDeleteI think that this topic is really useful for our society because we never know what might happen if we can't predict something dangerous happening from these corona waves.-Takia McMorris
ReplyDeleteI think the magnetic field is useful to learn about the solar system and the Earth. -lannah
ReplyDeletei think it is useful to see the effects of the magnetic field -sophia
