  2. Magnetosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere

    The magnetosphere of Jupiter is the largest planetary magnetosphere in the Solar System, extending up to 7,000,000 kilometers (4,300,000 mi) on the dayside and almost to the orbit of Saturn on the nightside. [18] Jupiter's magnetosphere is stronger than Earth's by an order of magnitude, and its magnetic moment is approximately 18,000 times ...

  3. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    The magnetosphere is defined by the extent of Earth's magnetic field in space or geospace. It extends above the ionosphere , several tens of thousands of kilometres into space , protecting Earth from the charged particles of the solar wind and cosmic rays that would otherwise strip away the upper atmosphere, including the ozone layer that ...

  4. Health care quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_quality

    Health care quality is the degree to which health care services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes. [2] Quality of care plays an important role in describing the iron triangle of health care relationships between quality, cost, and accessibility of health care within a community. [3]

  5. Planetary habitability in the Solar System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_habitability_in...

    The ozone layer protects the planet from the harmful radiations from the Sun, and free oxygen is abundant enough for the breathing needs of terrestrial life. [24] Earth's magnetosphere, generated by its active core, is also important for the long-term habitability of Earth, as it prevents the solar winds from stripping the atmosphere out of the ...

  6. Quality of life (healthcare) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_life_(healthcare)

    The earlier palliative group not only had better quality of life based on the Functional assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, but the palliative care group also had less depressive symptoms (16% vs. 38%, P=0.01) despite having received less aggressive end-of-life care (33% vs. 54%, P=0.05) and ...

  7. Earth system science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_system_science

    Much Earth System science therefore relies on studies of the Earth's past behaviour and models to anticipate future behaviour in response to pressures. Life: Biological processes play a much stronger role in the functioning and responses of the Earth System than previously thought. It appears to be integral to every part of the Earth System.

  8. Effects of ionizing radiation in spaceflight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_ionizing...

    The orbits of the Earth-Moon system Lagrange points L 2 - L 5 take them out of the protection of the Earth's magnetosphere for approximately two-thirds of the time. [citation needed] The orbits of Earth-Sun system Lagrange Points L 1 and L 3 - L 5 are always outside the protection of the Earth's magnetosphere.

  9. Longevity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longevity

    Longevity may refer to especially long-lived members of a population, whereas life expectancy is defined statistically as the average number of years remaining at a given age. For example, a population's life expectancy at birth is the same as the average age at death for all people born in the same year (in the case of cohorts).
