Earth’s protective ozone layer is beginning to recover, largely because of the phaseout since the 1980s of certain chemicals used in refrigerants and aerosol cans, a U.N. scientific panel ...

Our planet's protective magnetic bubble may not be as protective as scientists had thought. Small breaks in Earth's magnetic field almost continuously let in the solar wind — the stream of ...

The temporary decline in Earth's magnetic field strength 42,000 years ago caused climate shifts that led to global environmental change and mass extinctions, a new study claims.

While Earth's magnetic field deflects most of the deadly cosmic rays that bombard us constantly, some do flow to the poles, where they collide with nitrogen and oxygen in the upper atmosphere and ...

So protection from radiation's is fine and all, but unfortunately we're yet to discover a way to protect the earth from its worst threat in its 4.5 billion years of existence - humans.

The ozone layer, situated in the stratosphere about 15 to 30 kilometres above the Earth's surface, is naturally formed through interactions between solar ultraviolet light and molecular oxygen (Oâ ).
