What planet has craters cliffs and a weak magnetic field?
Mercury
Which planet has craters cliffs and a weak magnetic field?
Mercury :) hope I helped!!
Is there a magnet field on the planet mercury?
Mercury does, despite its small size, have a magnetic field, and the planet is approximately a magnetic dipole (meaning the field has only two magnetic poles). Data from the space probe Mariner 10 led to its discovery in 1974, at which time the probe measured the strength of the magnetic field to be about 1.1% of that of earth, but it's strong enough to divert solar radiation and therefore creates a magnetosphere around the planet.
When was Mercury's magnetic field created?
Mercury's magnetic field was created in 1974-04.
What does the core of the planet Mercury consist of?
It's partially liquid iron, thereby the magnetic field. Iron
Does Mercury have a magnetic field?
Yes. It has a modest magnetic field that is approximately aligned with the planet's axis of rotation. The field is a planetary dipole, and it is though to be generated in a manner similar to the way the earth is though to generate its magnetic field - dynamo action at or around the core. The strength of the field has been estimated as approximately 1% of Earth's. (see link)
Why does mercury have a strong magnetic field?
That's easy because it doesn't. Mercury's magnetic field is only about 1% that of Earth.
Does the magnetic field rotate your planet?
no
Is the planet Mars non magnetic?
Mars has a magnetic field.
What planet has a permanent magnetic field?
Most importantly to us, the earth has a permanent magnetic field.
Why does Mercury have a slow magnetic field?
So I did some specialized research all over sites using keywords and phrases like, "atmosphere," "magnetic field," "mercury," "mercury's magnetic field," "iron substance of mercury," and so forth. I searched the NASA website and a few solar system books of my own, and here's my answer: "Mercury does not have enough atmosphere to slow down meteoroids and burn them up by friction... The discovery of a magnetic field around Mercury led some scientists to believe that the planet's outer core, like Earth's, consists of liquid iron." - NASA The magnetic field is so weak that the solar wind impinges on the surface and is absorbed. The fact that the magnetic field is so weak is due to the fact that it picks up solar wind where it is weakest. But that's not all. Creationist theories of planetary fields expect such a decrease because electrical resistance in a planet's core will decrease the electrical current causing the magnetic field. The smaller the core or greater the resistance, the faster the field will decay. "Mercury's decay rate is so rapid that some future probe could detect it fairly soon. In 1990 the planet's magnetic moment should be 1.8 percent smaller than its 1975 value." - D. Russell Humphreys
What is the magnetic force of this planet called?
The magnetic force on Earth is called Earth's magnetic field or also the geomagnetic field.
