Magnetospheres

by Lewis Carroll
written by Lewis Carroll

Magnetospheres – The area near cosmic bodies and having global magnetic fields there is called the magnetosphere.
Within the solar system.
Huge areas of outer space around large planets where solar wind and cosmic rays interact with their magnetic fields (see Magnetic Field). A display located in the magnetosphere is a dipole that “wraps” charged solar wind particles along lines of force toward the planet’s magnetic poles. The inner part, which is “blown” by the solar wind from the day side to the night side, is the planet’s magnetic plume. Scientific studies have shown the presence of magnetospheres on all the large planets in the solar system except Venus and Mars (see Mars, magnetic field), Pluto, and some of the planets’ satellites.
