  2. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    The magnitude of Earth's magnetic field at its surface ranges from 25 to 65 μT (0.25 to 0.65 G). [3] As an approximation, it is represented by a field of a magnetic dipole currently tilted at an angle of about 11° with respect to Earth's rotational axis, as if there were an enormous bar magnet placed at that angle through the center of Earth.

  3. Gauss (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_(unit)

    10 −6 –10 −3 G – the magnetic field of Galactic molecular clouds. Typical magnetic field strengths within the interstellar medium of the Milky Way are ~5 μG. 0.25–0.60 G – the Earth's magnetic field at its surface; 4 G – near Jupiter's equator; 25 G – the Earth's magnetic field in its core [4] 50 G – a typical refrigerator magnet

  4. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    A magnetic field (sometimes called B-field [1]) is a physical field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, [2]: ch1 [3] and magnetic materials. A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the magnetic field.

  5. Magnetopause - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetopause

    The condition governing this position is that the dynamic ram pressure from the solar wind is equal to the magnetic pressure from the Earth's magnetic field: [note 1] (()) where and are the density and velocity of the solar wind, and B(r) is the magnetic field strength of the planet in SI units (B in T, μ 0 in H/m).

    New research indicates the sun’s magnetic field originates much closer to the surface than previously thought, a finding that could help predict periods of extreme solar storms like the ones ...

  8. Orders of magnitude (magnetic moment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude...

    The magnetic moment of an object is an intrinsic property and does not change with distance, and thus can be used to measure "how strong" a magnet is. For example, Earth possesses an enormous magnetic moment, however we are very distant from its center and experience only a tiny magnetic flux density (measured in tesla ) on its surface.
