Our Atmosphere is Escaping!
- Finally, some of the Earth's magnetic field lines are weakened and pushed away from the Earth by the solar wind—a violent stream of plasma emanating from our Sun.

- Mars, for example, has no protective magnetic field, so what little atmosphere it does have is constantly buffeted and ripped away by the solar wind.
