Earth’s Magnetosphere The magnetosphere is the region around the Earth where charged particles from the solar wind are trapped These charged particles are trapped in areas called the Van Allen belts, where they spiral around the magnetic field lines Near the poles, the Van Allen belts intersect the atmosphere. The charged particles can escape; when they do, they create glowing light called aurorae.
