Analysis of data beamed back by one of the 11 payloads carried by the lunar orbiter, SARA ( Sub- keV Atom Reflecting Analyser), shows the presence of a mini- magnetosphere on the lunar surface. Chandrayaan finds moon magnetic field To be sure, the sun is experiencing a very quiet period...
Correlations between the rotations of the terrestrial planets in our solar system and the magnetic field of the Sun have been previously noted. These correlations account for the opposite rotation of Venus as a result of the magnetic field of the Sun being dragged across the conducting core of...
The solar corona, the upper atmosphere of the Sun (which has been heated to temperatures of 1–2 million Kelvin), streams away from the Sun at a more or less steady rate of 109 kg s−1 in equal numbers (8 × 1035 s−1) of electrons and ions. The boundary between the solar ...
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:1 The magnetosphere is ...
What is the magnetosphere made of?Magnetosphere:Our Earth regularly protects itself from the harmful radiations of the Sun and from the radiations from the outer space. This protection is because of the atmosphere of our Earth. Our atmosphere is a layer of air covering our planet and it is ...
SMILE was selected in June 2015, and its budget adopted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in November 2016 and the ESA Science Programme Committee in March 2019, respectively. SMILE will investigate the connection between the Sun and the Earth using a new technique that will image the magneto...
bombardment and escape of the planetary atmosphere. It also generates an intense electrical activity, behaving as a natural charged particle accelerator. Planetary magnetospheres are contained in the Sun’s sphere of influence (heliosphere), and in turn contain the magnetospheres of some of their ...

A central objective of heliophysics is understanding the connection between the Earth's magnetosphere and the Sun, specifically energy input and what causes geomagnetic disturbances. Initially a study primarily of correlations between the parameters in the solar wind and ground-based geomagnetic indices,...
