What Is the Region of Earth's Magnetic Field Shaped by the Solar Wind Called?


The region of the Earth's magnetic field that is shaped by the solar wind is called the magnetosphere. This region causes the particles in the solar wind to travel around the planet. The shape of the magnetosphere is a hemisphere on one side and a long tail-like shape on the other.
