The burning of satellites in the Earth's atmosphere can affect its magnetic field

Space debris created by the burning of satellites in the atmosphere can have a negative impact on the Earth's magnetic field.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, more spaceships in the earth's orbit can have more negative effects on the earth's magnetic field and also increase the environmental effects.

Published reports show that the number of satellites in the Earth's atmosphere and their burning is a matter of concern for scientists, and according to a new article, as a result of this burning, a layer of conductive dust is created around the planet, which can affect the earth's protective magnetic field. American physicist Sierra Solterhunt says about this issue: Garbage surrounds our planet.

This physicist has previously published research on plasma dust and problems related to the increase in the concentration of metal dust in the upper atmosphere of the Earth. According to him, plasma dust consists of ionized dust that forms the upper atmosphere of the earth along with microscopic ash particles resulting from the burning of meteorites in the planet's atmosphere, as well as satellites that return to the earth's atmosphere after their mission.

Of course, the chemical composition of the meteors that hit the earth before is different from the satellites. They contain small amounts of highly conductive metals, while satellites are made of superconducting metals.

The calculations show that 50 tons of space rocks are evaporated daily in the earth's atmosphere and the result is about 450 kg of charged dust. Of course, this amount is 3 times less than what a Starling satellite creates when re-entering the atmosphere. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an old satellite burns in the Earth's atmosphere every day. On the other hand, with the increase in the number of satellites in the Starlink fleet, this number may increase in the future.

According to this physicist, creating disturbances in the conductive shell can lead to the creation of holes in the earth's protective magnetic shield. In this way, cosmic radiation can cause more damage on the surface of the planet. The state of this issue is the weakening of the magnetism of the sphere that the solar wind can destroy the Earth's atmosphere. This happened to the atmosphere of Mars for billions of years. Of course, this situation is not considered an immediate threat.
