The correct statement regarding Earth's magnetic field is:
1. **Protects us from harmful charged particles from the sun.**
Earth's magnetic field acts as a shield, deflecting most of the charged particles emitted by the sun, particularly during solar flares and coronal mass ejections. This protection helps prevent these particles from directly reaching the Earth's surface, where they could cause harm to living organisms and critical technology.
Statement 2, which claims that the magnetic field amplifies the strength of charged particles from the sun, is incorrect. The magnetic field does not amplify these particles; rather, it serves to protect the planet from their harmful effects.
