QUESTION 5Protons and electrons are ejected from the sun in large quantities. These charge particles, that travel to the earth fromthe sun along with electromagnetic radiation, are called the solar wind. The solar wind penetrates the atmosphere ofthe earth much more at the geopmagnetic north and south poles than anywhere else on the earth. Why?a. The magnetic field due to the earth is weakest near the poles.b. Being near either pole places the observer far from city lights.O c. Light from the sun is refracted the most near the poles.d. The magnetic field due to the earth fluctuates the slowest near the polesO e. Sunlight is reflected most efficiently near the poles where the surface of the earth is mostly white.
