5 Atmospheric Density1 moles/ liter Ionosphereno * Magnetic field strength0.3 gauss Ozone Layeryes Solar wind velocity350 Km/s Planet Gamma Death from X- ray and gamma rays

6 Atmospheric Density1 moles/ liter Ionosphereyes Magnetic field strength0.3 gauss Ozone Layerno * Solar wind velocity350 Km/s Planet Beta Death by UV

7 Atmospheric Density0.002 moles/ liter * Ionosphereyes Magnetic field strength0.3 gauss Ozone Layeryes Solar wind velocity350 Km/s Planet Epsilon Death by high energy solar particles

8 Mapping Magnetic Fields Activity

9 The sun burps coronal mass ejections http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTPrwg P8oFYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTPrwg P8oFY Check Space weather http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/re altime-images.htmlhttp://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/re altime-images.html

10 Without magnetic field Magnetic field reversal – compares earth with mars

11 Atmospheric Density1 moles/ liter Ionosphereyes Magnetic field strength0.02 gauss * Ozone Layeryes Solar wind velocity350 Km/s Planet Delta Death by solar wind charged particles etc.

12 Heliosphere video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdNDIz1W 6f0

13 Atmospheric Density1 moles/ liter Ionosphereyes Magnetic field strength0.3 gauss Ozone Layeryes Solar wind velocity20 Km/s * Planet Zeta Collapse of heliosphere, death by galactic cosmic rays

14 Atmospheric Density1 moles/ liter Ionosphereyes Magnetic field strength0.3 gauss Ozone Layeryes Solar wind velocity350 Km/s Planet Alpha Death by gamma ray burst, super nova or impact with asteroid… or moose atomic war!

15 Atmospheric Density1 moles/ liter Ionosphereyes Magnetic field strength0.3 gauss Ozone Layeryes Solar wind velocity300 Km/s Planet Earth
