Is Earth a Battery? NASA Proves the Existence of the Planet's Energy Field ⚡🌍 You’ve heard of gravity and magnetism, but here’s another force: Earth’s ambipolar electric field, recently confirmed by NASA after decades of theories. It may generate only 0.55 volts—about the same as a watch battery—but it’s powerful enough to lift the atmosphere with 10 times the force of gravity! 🔭 How does it work? At around 250 km above the poles, electrons escape from hydrogen and oxygen atoms, leaving ions behind. This field acts as an electric "conveyor belt," lifting the atmosphere and expanding the ionosphere by 271%. 💨 The mystery of polar wind solved That puzzling stream of charged particles leaving Earth’s atmosphere for space? Turns out, the field accelerates these particles like a turbocharger, helping them escape our planet. 🌌 Why does it matter? Scientists believe similar fields exist on other planets, like Venus or Mars. This discovery could deepen our understanding of atmosphere
