Earth's magnetosphere extends over a radius of a million kilometers, which acts as the first line of defence, shielding us from the continuous flow of solar and galactic cosmic rays, thus protecting life on our planet from these high intensity energetic radiations.
Similarly to the solar magnetic modulation, high geomagnetic field intensity decreases the flux of galactic cosmic rays and radionuclide production rates and the opposite for low geomagnetic field intensity.
Changes in the sun can of course affect the amount of energy received by the earth through changes in its output, variations in the intensity of UV - light, or perhaps even clouds through galactic cosmic rays.
This effect is realized through modulation of the intensity of galactic cosmic ray fluxes penetrating the atmosphere.
