The growing amount of debris from satellites may eventually compromise the Earth’s electromagnetic field, allowing more harmful cosmic radiation to reach the planet’s surface, according to Sierra Solter-Hunt, an American physicist.
An extreme, almost apocalyptic scenario could see the weakened magnetosphere allow solar wind to begin stripping away Earth's atmosphere . . . That, however, is certainly not an immediate threat.
The situation could be aggravated by the large number of Starlink satellites being placed into orbit.
Debris from burning satellites could be affecting Earth's magnetic field
