Does the moon have a stronger magnetic field than the earth?
Venus does not have a magnetic field.
Can other planets besides the earth have a magnetosphere?
The magnetosphere is the region around a planet where the solar wind is significantly altered due to the magnetic field of the planet. Planets with a magnetic field arising from internal processes are said to have a global magnetic field. A Global magnetic field will produce a magnetosphere. Six of the planets have global magnetic fields, and hence some magnetosphere; Mercury, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Mars did have one, but when the core froze, that ended the geodynamo. Venus, the near twin of Earth, does not have a geomagnetic field and that is quite perplexing. It too lacks a geodynamo and no one knows why. There are remnant magnetic fields for Mars and Venus, but they are too small to have any significant effect on the solar wind. Jupiter and Saturn have huge magnetic fields and there are only general theories as to what causes them. Uranus has a middling magnetic field, more in the range of Earth's field. The moon has no significant field. We have no idea whether Pluto does or not, but it would be unlikely.
How strong is the sun's magnetic field?
Earth's magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with the magnetic field South pole near the Earth's geographic north pole (see Magnetic North Pole) and the other magnetic field N pole near the Earth's geographic south pole (see Magnetic South Pole). This makes the compass usable for navigation. The cause of the field can be explained by dynamo theory. A magnetic field extends infinitely, though it weakens with distance from its source. The Earth's magnetic field, also called the geomagnetic field, which effectively extends several tens of thousands of kilometres into space, forms the Earth's magnetosphere. A paleomagnetic study of Australian red dacite and pillow basalt has estimated the magnetic field to be at least 3.5 billion years old.
Does Jupiter have a magnetic field?
Jupiter has a large, complex, and intense magnetic field that is thought to arise from electrical currents in the rapidly spinning metallic hydrogen interior. The Earth has a strong magnetic field, but Jupiter's magnetic field at the tops of its clouds is 10 times stronger than that of the Earth. Further, the Jovian magnetic field has much higher complexity than that of the Earth, with some aspects of Jupiter's fields having no Earthly counterpart. The intensity and complexity relative to the magnetic field of the Earth is presumably related in some way to the more rapid rotation and larger metallic interior for Jupiter.yes
What planets have a magnetic field?
Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Other planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) have magnetic fields too, but they are too tenuous to be detected from anyplace but the surface and don't protect from solar radiation.
Does earth's magnetic field only affect other planets?
No. Earth's magnetic field only affects earth, not other planets.
Does the moon have a stronger magnetic field than the earth?
Venus does not have a magnetic field.
Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the equator of near the south pole?
The magnetic field is stronger at the poles.
What does the earth's magnetic field not affect?
other planets
Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the middle of the earth or at the bottom of earth?
near both magnetic poles
Why is earth magnetic field stronger near the equator?
It's not.
Which planets do have a magnetic field?
Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Earth all have magnetic fields. Mercury has a very weak magnetic field.
What planets aren't magnetic?
Not all of the planets within our solar system have a magnetic field. Venus and Mars are the only ones that don't have a magnetic field (all other planets do have one).
Can a planet have a quadrupole magnetic field?
Yes - several planets have magnetic fields that do not even vaguely resemble Earth's current field.
Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near a he middle of earth(in Mexico) or at the bottom of the earth(in Antarctica)?
Stronger near the poles, thus Antarctica.
Did others planet magnetic field meet the earth magnetic field?
Planets are too far from each other to have any observable interaction of their magnetic fields.
Which planets have a magnetic force?
The planets within our solar system that have a magnetic field are: Earth, Jupiter, Mercury (though it is weak), Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus.
