The above image if you can load it is of Venus' atmosphere being blown away from the solar winds. It is mentioned that the reason both Mars and Venus have their atmospheres blown away regularly by solar winds is that they both don't have a magnetosphere like earth does.
I WISH TO POSE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION: IS THE MAGNETOSPHERE OF EARTH THE SOURCE OF ALL ELECTRICITY GENERATED ON EARTH USING A MAGNET AND A COIL? IF SO, EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE COULD EVENTUALLY BE BLOWN OFF JUST LIKE VENUS AND MARS.
No science professional or College physics instructor has answered my question sufficiently of where does the electricity come from that we use everyday that is generated by magnets and coils. For the mechanics of electricity are easy. If you break the magnetic field of a magnet(either natural or manmade) with a coil of copper wire or other useful, usually metal conductor, you create electricity. Virtually all electricity used on earth that is not generated by solar cells is created by breaking the field of a magnet with copper or other coils in a continuous sequence.
So, if the answer to my question is that the magnetically generated electricity that we base all powerful electric motors on is draining the magnetic fields of earth over the long run, then Earth could lose its atmosphere just like Venus and Mars do regularly to the solar winds.
It could be that solar cells to generate electricity might be the only safe way long term to generate electricity on earth. For solar cell electrical generation is in many ways artificial photosynthesis and photosynthesis is the basis of all life on earth. Since Solar Cells imitate photosynthesis they may be long term the only safe way to keep our atmosphere and weather working properly on earth.
