The strength of the Earth's magnetic field is assumed to be 0.6 gauss when measured at the hypothetical magnetic poles, dropping to 0.2 gauss around the equator.
In fact, the Earth has no magnetic field or poles. The compass points north because the sun's energy moves westward, causing currents in the atmosphere to move westward.
This westward-moving current in the atmosphere in the Earth's shadow induces auroras that spin westward.
Scientists falsely claim that the Earth's molten core causes the Earth's magnetic field. False claims that the solar wind exists and that the solar wind produces auroras. False claims that the Earth has a magnetosphere that extends into space and produces the Van Allen belts.
