Earth’s core has slowed so much it’s moving backward, scientists confirm. Here’s what it could mean

The sloshing of metal-rich fluid in the outer core generates electrical currents that power Earth’s magnetic field, which protects our planet from deadly solar radiation.

They say that Mars was once like the Earth, then it's core stopped, cooled and then the atmosphere was lost.

The magnetosphere deflects much of the solar particles and energy that stream towards Earth at all times. Without the magnetosphere, Earth's layered atmosphere would deteriorate due to the constant bombardment of solar wind. And without our uniquely layered atmosphere, which protects us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation and traps heat, life on Earth wouldn't be possible.

It was fun while it lasted.
