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.
Venus only has an induced magnetosphere formed by the Sun's magnetic field carried by the solar wind. [46] This process can be understood as the field lines wrapping around an obstacle—Venus in this case. The induced magnetosphere of Venus has a bow shock, magnetosheath, magnetopause and magnetotail with the current sheet. [46] [47]

Throughout December, Venus will move higher and higher in the night sky, setting several hours after the sun. Because of how bright Venus will appear, some are referring to it as this year's ...
The magnetosheath is the region of space between the magnetopause and the bow shock of a planet's magnetosphere.The regularly organized magnetic field generated by the planet becomes weak and irregular in the magnetosheath due to interaction with the incoming solar wind, and is incapable of fully deflecting the highly charged particles.
During the month of June, planets Jupiter and Venus are converging to provide a remarkable view in the sky. NASA explains in an online video post: "During the first two weeks of June, Venus and ...
Jupiter and Venus were filmed when they were so close they nearly met in the sky. This footage shot on the night of Thursday, 2 March, shows the amazing moment from Los Angeles, California. The ...
Venus’ cloud data prove that Venus' clouds contain a small amount of water, possibly proving that Venus once had a functioning water cycle. [7] Using image data from Magellan, scientists could fill lowlands of Venus’ surface area with water, leaving only Venusian continents visible.
