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.

    Nothing. The orbital effect is created by the centrifuge force created by the motion of the planet, and the centripeta created by the gravitational pull of the sun.

    the outcomes does not be any diverse than any of the preveious pole reversals of the Earth, using fact it takes 1000's of years to end, a number of photograph voltaic polarity 'flips' have got here approximately throughout each and every Earthly one.

    it is always reversing that is why our planet continue spinning.
