Why does the earth even have a magnetic field?

If we are attracted to magnetic field of earth why don't we get attracted to magnets?

  • not only us.. everything that's on earth .. why magnets attract only iron? then how come everything falls down on the surface of earth and it's related to magnetic force?

  • Answer:

    We are attracted by gravity - the magnetic force is much much weaker and we only have a small amount of iron in us.

Magnets also attracts us equally like Earth magnet but we don't feel it. Magnets affect other metal too and as a result antennas receive magnetic signals transmitted from long distances. This attraction is limited to electrons only. Due to the atomic structure of Iron the attraction is physical. I have tried to explain in layman's language. You may go to the deep study of Physics to understand the whole thing.

We are attracted to the earth because of gravity. There is not enough iron in your body for you to feel any pull from the earth's magnetic field. Magnets do not only attract iron they also attract nickel cobalt and gadolinium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadolinium
