A rendering of the magnetic field lines of the magnetosphere of the Earth. In astronomy and planetary science, a magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are affected by that object's magnetic field. [1] [2] It is created by a celestial body with an active interior dynamo.

This template should be used to present information on both intrinsic and induced planetary magnetospheres belonging to both Solar System and extrasolar planets. For the parameters see example template on the right.
Artistic representation of Earth's magnetosphere. The plasma sheet is highlighted in yellow. In the magnetosphere, the plasma sheet is a sheet-like region of denser (0.3-0.5 ions/cm 3 versus 0.01-0.02 in the lobes) [citation needed] hot plasma and lower magnetic field located on the magnetotail and near the equatorial plane, between the magnetosphere's north and south lobes.

The diagram is thoughtfully put together and I learned something from it, not finding myself distracted by crops or labels or pixelation. Plus I'm a sucker for diagrams.--Efbrazil 05:04, 23 May 2013 (UTC) Support I agree that it would make the earth too small if the elements were not cut off the way they are.
This diagram uses embedded text that can be easily translated using a text editor. This SVG diagram contains embedded raster graphics . [1] Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes (as well as possibly being very inefficient in file size).
Schematic view of the different current systems which shape the Earth's magnetosphere. Earth's ring current is responsible for shielding the lower latitudes of the Earth from magnetospheric electric fields. It therefore has a large effect on the electrodynamics of geomagnetic storms.
