Re: Sun and Earth magnetic field ?
Fri, 11/10/2006 - 11:31Does the sun's magnetic field (gravity) weaken and strengthen at various points, as it (the sun) passes through the Milky Way's plane? (One side of the plane has a positive charge and the opposite side negative?) Also, does the sun move closer or further from the center of the Milky Way?
Not sure why you have gravity in brackets there. From the rest of your post, you seem to be talking electromagnetic fields. Gravity has nothing to do with magnetic or electrical fields. The Sun's magnetic field is very unlike the Earth's. The field is generated by sunspot activity and flares, etc. The earth has a largely static field (on a human timescale) - the Sun's fluctuates rapidly. The magnetic field of the Sun has no effect on the Sun's orbit through the Milky Way.
If the sun's magnetic field enters flux as it passes from one side of the plane to the other side, would the earth move further away from the sun if on said plane?
No. Gravity is the main control on orbital distances.
If the Earth's poles "swap," as has been predicted by some science writers, to happen in 2012 C.E. or sometime soon thereafter, what would happen to our planet's electrical systems -- with an emphasis on negative grounding? Is it a probable likelihood that positive becomes negative and vice versa?
The poles of the Earth will swap - just a question of when. Positive will not become negative. That is due to electron flow - not magnetics. The only effect may well be compasses pointing in the wrong direction....Depending on the speed and magnitude of the chnage, there may be some communication disruption, etc. No-one really knows.
If the Earth does move away from the sun during this flux period, statistics seem to indicate the earth would experience a cooling effect.
It will get colder - less energy from the Sun! But the Earth won't move away...
If the moon moves away, it would also impact tidal movements here on earth, wouldn't it?
The moon is moving away - very, very slowly. Have a google for this for more info. Again, this is gravitational, not magnetic.
Any relevant information would help this interested newbie! Thanks in advance.
Hope this helps
