Earthâs magnetic field is generated by an interaction between rotation in the planetâs core and electrical currents.The field then creates the magnetosphere, which acts sort of like a force field, protecting the planet from the brunt of the sun's solar wind.arthâs magnetic field is generated by an interaction between rotation in the planetâs core and electrical currents.
Scientists believe the magnetic field is generated deep inside the Earth where the heat of the planet's solid inner core churns a liquid outer core of iron and nickel. The solid inner core is thought to be a mass of iron about the size of the moon that is heated to several thousand degrees Fahrenheit.
