What would happen if the sun's magnetic field and the Earth's magnetic field reversed polarity together?
I know the sun reverses polarity during solar maximums and minimums, about every 11 years, and the sun's magnetic field strength decreases until polarity is reversed. The Earth's magnetic field strength also weakens leading up to a reversal. I wonder what the consequences might be if both were to reverse polarity simultaneously.
