Is there a difference in Earth's magnetic field between day and night?
It looks like there is some difference between day and night geomagnetic field, and one of the causes is mentioned in @JEB's comment.

Why doesn't the Earth's magnetic field affect electronics?
Actually, the Earth's magnetic field does affect electronics, probably, in a positive way, as it protects it from the effects of cosmic rays.

Let us consider a thin circular aluminum wire in the Earth's equator plane at the altitude, say, 150 km, i.e., beyond atmosphere, so cooling is not an impossible problem. Aluminum is superconducting b …

Variations of earth's magnetic field strength
You ask a lot of questions, I'll try to answer just one. As the Earth's magnetic field protects us from ionizing radiation, theoretically, there can be negative correlation between the Earth's magneti …

How can a refrigerator magnet be stronger than the Earth's magnetic field?
As @Árpád Szendrei noted, "Your experiment would have a different result if you tried it very close to the liquid core"
Indirect estimate of magnetic field inside the Earth gives a value of 2.5 mT (Na …

A strong neodymium magnet has no effect whatsoever on my phone compass. How is that possible?
iPhone has a Hall effect/magnetometer, not a magnet (https://theoryandpractice.citizenscienceassociation.org/articles/10.5334/cstp.158/) - you can look up the model Alps Electric HSCDTD007

Could I make a magnetic foam or film by mixing magnetic dust?
I think ferromagnetic dust (or filings) with some adhesive should work. If the resulting mix has zero average magnetization, you should be able to magnetize it using an external magnet. Beware of the …

is there any possible way of creating a miniature version of earth's magnetic field?
To defend the spacecraft from cosmic radiation, one could consider strong (superconducting) electromagnets, but I am not sure they can provide adequate defense. As for the question in the title, it lo …

Why does earth's magnetic field change its direction?
It is guessed that those flips are caused by instabilities of the dynamics of the Earth's core:
"Scientists believe Earth's magnetic field is generated deep inside
our planet. There, the heat of the …
