Answer: The magnetic field doesn't completely disappear but it does weaken.

Explanation: The magnetosphere, together with Earth's atmosphere, continue protecting Earth from cosmic rays and charged solar particles, though there may be a small amount of particulate radiation that makes it down to Earth's surface.
