WHAT IS HELIOSPHERE? Meaning and Importance

HELIOSPHERE

HELIOSPHERE is the outermost atmosphere of the sun that marks the edge of sun's magnetic influence in space. According to some models , the shape of heliosphere resembles to a bubble ; a huge bubble that extends all through our solar system and zooms into the space along with the sun. The shape of heliosphere also resembles to a comet which has tail [heliotail].It defines the volume of space in which the sun's magnetic field can be predominantly found.

Cosmic Rays Data

Inside The Heliosphere , there is a constant flow of Solar Wind consisting of charged particles [protons and neutrons embodied with high energy].The Solar Wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the sun and varies with speed and temperature over time. The solar wind creates the heliosphere , a vast bubble which surrounds the heliosphere. Outside the heliosphere , deep space is hit with deadly cosmic rays. Heliosphere protects  the earth from these deadly cosmic rays which otherwise would have harmed the life on earth. These cosmic rays are harmful for the living cells of our body. Due to the presence of solar wind along with charged particles in heliosphere, the bubble protects all the planets from deadly cosmic rays.

"WITHOUT THE HELIOSPHERE , NEITHER LIFE FORMS NOR EARTH COULD BE IMAGINED!"
