This tutorial review deals with large-scale convection electric fields in Earth's inner magnetosphere and the particle populations that interact strongly with those fields, specifically the inner plasma sheet, ring current, and plasmasphere. We summarize the state of knowledge in the early 1970s, ...
The magnetosphere is an area of charged particles surrounding the Earth in a comet shape, with its thickest area facing away from the sun. It exists in response to Earth's magnetic field, which occurs because of Earth's molten iron outer core.Answer and Explanation: The magnetosphere is able...
Venus is sometimes referred to as Earth’s evil twin on account of it being almost the same size but plagued with a thick noxious atmosphere and a sweltering 470ºC (880ºF) surface. Its high pressure and temperature is hot enough to melt lead – and destroy the spacecraft that dare ...
