    www.britannica.com/science/magnetosphere

    magnetosphere, region in the atmosphere where magnetic phenomena and the high atmospheric conductivity caused by ionization are important in determining the behaviour of charged particles.

    scitechdaily.com/science-made-simple-what-is-earths-magnetosphere

    The magnetosphere is a result of Earths internal magnetic field, produced by the rotation and convection of conductive materials in its core. This magnetic field extends into space, acting as a shield against the solar wind, thereby forming the magnetosphere.

    www.britannica.com/science/ionosphere-and-magnetosphere

    Ionosphere and magnetosphere, regions of Earth’s atmosphere in which the number of electrically charged particles—ions and electrons—are large enough to affect the propagation of radio waves. The charged particles are created by the action of extraterrestrial radiation (mainly from the Sun) on.

    science.nasa.gov/science-research/earth-science/earths-magnetosphere...

    Earth is surrounded by a system of magnetic fields, called the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere shields our home planet from harmful solar and cosmic particle radiation, but it can change shape in response to incoming space weather from the Sun.

    The magnetosphere is a region surrounding Earth that is influenced by the planets magnetic field. It extends from the Earth’s surface out into space, forming a protective shield that helps to deflect harmful solar radiation and charged particles.

  7. Ionosphere and magnetosphere - Solar Wind, Magnetic Field, Plasma

    www.britannica.com/science/ionosphere-and-magnetosphere/Magnetosphere

    The overall structure of the outer ionospherethe magnetosphere—is strongly influenced by the configuration of Earth’s magnetic field. Close to the planet’s surface, the magnetic field has a structure similar to that of an ideal dipole.

  8. Magnetosphere - Vocab, Definition, and Must Know Facts - Fiveable

    library.fiveable.me/key-terms/earth-systems-science/magnetosphere

    The magnetosphere is the region around Earth dominated by its magnetic field, extending thousands of kilometers into space. It protects the planet from solar wind and cosmic radiation, which can have harmful effects on both the atmosphere and living organisms.

  9. Magnetosphere - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/magnetosphere

    A magnetosphere is a magnetic cavity surrounding a magnetized planet, formed by the interaction between the planet's magnetic field and the solar wind carrying ionized gases. Encyclopedia of Atmospheric Sciences (Second Edition), 2015.

    www.jpl.nasa.gov/nmp/st5/SCIENCE/magnetosphere.html

    The magnetosphere is a strong magnetic field that surrounds our planet. Acting as a shield, it deflects most solar energetic particle radiation that emanates from the Sun. For along with light, hot gases spew from the Sun and travel at a speed of a million miles an hour through space.
