Strong planetary magnetic fields like Earth's may protect oceans from stellar storms

Strong planetary magnetic fields like Earth's may protect oceans from stellar storms

A study by scientists at ANU on the magnetic fields of planets has found that most planets discovered in other solar systems are unlikely to be as hospitable to life as Earth. Plants and animals would not survive without water on Earth. The sheer strength of Earth's magnetic field helps to maintain liquid water on our blue planet's surface, thereby making it possible for life to thrive.
