Since the electric potential is symmetric with respect to the equator, only the northern hemisphere needs to be considered. The general direction of the potential is from dawn to dusk, and Φ co is the total potential difference. For a transformation from a rotating magnetospheric coordinate system into a non-rotating system, τ must be ...
Special cases of the Sun-synchronous orbit are the noon/midnight orbit, where the local mean solar time of passage for equatorial latitudes is around noon or midnight, and the dawn/dusk orbit, where the local mean solar time of passage for equatorial latitudes is around sunrise or sunset, so that the satellite rides the terminator between day ...
Although civil dawn marks the time of the first appearance of civil twilight before sunrise, and civil dusk marks the time of the first disappearance of civil twilight after sunset, civil twilight statutes typically denote a fixed period after sunset or before sunrise (most commonly 20–30 minutes) rather than how many degrees the Sun is below ...
As a result, the spacecraft will pass over points on the Earth that have the same time of day during every orbit. For instance, if the orbit is "square to the Sun", the vehicle will always pass over points at which it is 6 a.m. on the north-bound portion, and 6 p.m. on the south-bound portion (or vice versa). This is called a "Dawn-Dusk" orbit.
One possible way to transfer energy is via a hydrodynamic dynamo process. Solar wind particles penetrate the polar regions of the magnetosphere where the geomagnetic field lines are essentially vertically directed. An electric field is generated, directed from dawn to dusk.

Dawn to Dusk may refer to: Dawn to Dusk, the first disc of the album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins "Dawn to Dusk", a song from the Raga soundtrack; Dawn-to-dusk transcontinental flight across the United States, an aviation record established in 1924
The western twilight sky after sunset, during the blue hour (around nautical dusk).The deep-blue color of the upper portion is attributable to Chappuis absorption. Chappuis absorption (French:) refers to the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by ozone, which is especially noticeable in the ozone layer, which absorbs a small part of sunlight in the visible portion of the electromagnetic ...
