Solar Wind's Effect on Earth. The Sun produces a solar wind â a continuous flow of charged particles â that can affect us on Earth.It can, for example, disrupt communications, navigation systems, and satellites. Solar activity can also cause power outages, such as the extensive Canadian blackout in 1989.he Sun produces a solar wind â a continuous flow of charged particles â that can affect us on Earth.
If a planet has a magnetic field, it will interact with the solar wind to deflect the charged particles and form an elongated cavity in the solar wind. This cavity is called the magnetosphere of the planet. In the vicinity of the earth, the particles of the solar wind are traveling about 400 km/s.They are slowed by the interaction with the earth to produce a bow shaped shock wave around the earth. Inside a boundary called the magnetopause, the earth's magnetic field is dominant over the effects of the solar wind.The small fraction of the charged particles which do leak through the magnetopause are trapped in two large doughnut-shaped rings called the Van Allen radiation belts.n the vicinity of the earth, the particles of the solar wind are traveling about 400 km/s. They are slowed by the interaction with the earth to produce a bow shaped shock wave around the earth.
