Which planet is called the north star?
The north star is a star, not a planet. It is called Polaris. The planet Venus is called the Evening Star
Can a star be a planet?
No - a star is a star and a planet is a planet. See related questions.
Is mars a planet or a star?
Its a planet!!
Largest to smallest filament galaxy planet or star?
Filament > galaxy > star > planet
A planet is a?
A planet is a planet.A planet is a celestial body orbiting a star.
If a magnetic field is caused by a charge in motion and if neutrons have no charge where does the magnetic field come from in a neutron star?
The reasons behind the magnetic field of a neutron star are not clear. Neutron stars are the collapsed core of star of 10 to 30 solar masses. One theory is that the magnetic field of a neutron star is because of the conservation of magnetic flux. If a star had a magnetic flux over its surface and the star then collapsed to a much smaller neutron star but the flux was conserved, then the same flux for the neutron star would be spread over a much smaller area making the magnetic field much stronger. But this explanation goes only partway towards explaining the neutron stars' magnetic field.
Can astronomers learn the magnetic field of a star?
Light that comes from the sun is polarized by these magnetic fields. A meter can determine the different directions of the light and detect interference. This interference is known as a magnetic field.
Describe what is required for a magnetosphere to exist?
The planet (or moon) must have a magnetic field. This means the body must have an iron core. A star can have a magnetosphere without an iron core because it is composed of plasma.
Where is the magnetic field the stroungest?
As far as I know, in a magnetar, which is a special type of neutron star.
What does the dynamo theory help?
The dynamo theory helps explain how a planet or star can make its own magnetic field. William Gilbert was the first person to suggest that the Earth is a magnet in a report called de Magnete in 1600.

How does the lighthouse model explain pulsars?
A neutron star contains a powerful magnetic field and spins very rapidly. the spinning magnetic field generates a tremendously powerful electric field, and the filed causes the production of electron positron pairs. As the charged particles are accelerated through the magnetic field, they emit photons in the direction of their motion, which produce powerful beams of electromagnetic radiation emerging from the magnetic poles. Pretty much when you look at it from far away it looks like it blinking at you so that's why they call it the light house model in the same way when your at sea and you see a blinking light in the distance which is a lighthouse. =)
A rapidly rotating neutron star with an offset magnetic field that appears to blink to a distant observer is called a?
A pulsar
What is the biggest magnet in the solar system?
The Sun's own magnetic field - the star is the largest and most active component of the system.
A pulsar requires that a neutron star 1rotate rapidly 2have a radius of at least 10Km 3have a stron magnetic field 4 rotate on an axis different from the axis of the magnetic field what is tru?
All of the above. See related questions.
Is Mars a Main sequence Star?
No . Mars is a planet, not a star. "Stars" produce light, planets reflect light. Whether that's in our "Solar System" or any "Star system".
How many differences are there between a star and planet?
a star is a dying planet and a planet is a living star
