Do other planets have magnetic fields?
Yes, all of them do, except for Mars and Venus. Neither Mars nor Venus have a "global magnetic field". Mars has only traces of weak magnetism and Venus is probably even less magnetic.Neither plants nor animals have any significant magnetic field.
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.
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.
Which is NOT true about sunspots?
They are not related to magnetic fields.
Are sunspots regions of intense magnetic fields?
Yes
Do the other planets have magnetic fields?
yes all the other planets have magnetic fields except venus because it rotates to slowly
What does magnetic fields affect?
it affects the other planets and its rotation
Do humans have a magnetic field?
No. The magnetic fields of objects such as planets are due to currents withing their molten interiors. Asteroids are completely solid and so do not have magnetic fields.
Which planet has a magnetic shield?
All planets have magnetic fields. I believe that in most cases, this magnetic field can act as a shield.
Which planets do have a magnetic field?
Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Earth all have magnetic fields. Mercury has a very weak magnetic field.
Do other plants have magnetive line?
I assume you mean "planets". Yes, other planets have magnetic fields, too. Jupiter, for example, has a very strong magnetic field.
What two things does earth have in common with the outer planets?
moons and magnetic fields ;D
Can a planet have a quadrupole magnetic field?
Yes - several planets have magnetic fields that do not even vaguely resemble Earth's current field.
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.
Do any other plants besides the earth have magnets in it?
Yes. They don't have actual magnets, but they do have "magnetic fields". Other planets with magnetic fields are Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What creates a planet's magnetic field?
The dynamo. For terrestrial planets, the dynamo is a molten core of nickel-iron. Mercury and Earth have fairly strong dynamos and therefore fairly strong magnetic fields. Venus and Mars do not, and have only weak magnetic fields.
How do the orientations of Uranus' and Neptune's magnetic axes differ from those of the other planets?
The magnetic fields are not aligned with the rotational axis of the planet and they are not located at the center of the planet.
