centripetal force of Earth's rotation gravitational attraction between Earth and the Sun solar winds bringing high-energy particles toward Earth differences in the distance between Earth and the Sun during Earth's orbit
I am hesitating between 4 options to answer the following question, which option should I choose?
Question: Earth's magnetosphere is not uniformly shaped. It is compressed on the side facing the Sun and has a long tail extending away from the Sun. Which phenomenon is responsible for this shape?
Possibilities:
- centripetal force of Earth's rotation
- gravitational attraction between Earth and the Sun
- solar winds bringing high-energy particles toward Earth
- differences in the distance between Earth and the Sun during Earth's orbit

solar winds bringing high-energy particles toward Earth
