Jupiter's magnetosphere is traditionally divided into three parts: the inner, middle and outer magnetosphere. The inner magnetosphere is located at distances closer than 10 R J from the planet. The magnetic field within it remains approximately dipole, because contributions from the currents flowing in the magnetospheric equatorial ...

Jupiter's magnetosphere is the largest object in the solar system. If it glowed in wavelengths visible to the eye, it would appear two to three times the size of the Sun or Moon to viewers on Earth. Cassini's ion and neutral camera detects neutral atoms expelled from the magnetosphere, deriving information about their source.

12 lug 2017 · Jupiter's Magnetosphere. Released Wednesday, July 12, 2017. ID: 4142. Visualizations by: Tom Bridgman. View full credits. Earth's magnetic field creates a 'bubble' around Earth that helps protect our planet from some of the more harmful effects of energetic particles streaming out from the sun in the solar wind.

Jupiter's magnetosphere is the largest object in the solar system. If it glowed in wavelengths visible to the eye, it would appear two to three times the size of the Sun or Moon to viewers on Earth. In this visualization, the magnetic field structure is represented by gold/copper lines.

The magnetic field interacts with the solar wind to form a bubble that is called a magnetosphere, and within this bubble an energetic plasma emits radio waves to make Jupiter one of the brightest radio sources in the sky. The magnetic field of Jupiter is nearly a dipole field that is tilted 10 to Jupiter's rotation axis.
JUPITER’S MAGNETOSPHERE. Extending beyond Jupiter’s moons, the Jovian magnetic field is the strongest in the solar system, except for the Sun’s. The field dominates an expansive region called the magnetosphere – the largest structure in the solar system.
9 apr 2021 · We investigated the magnetic topology of Jupiter’s polar cap using a newly developed global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of the jovian magnetosphere, including its interactions with the interplanetary medium, the effect of mass loading from the volcanic moon Io, and ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling ( 31, 32 ).
