Do all planets have magnetic fields?

No. Venus (even though it has liquid in its core) does not have a magnetic field because of its slow rotation, making the liquid not electrically conducting. Mars does not have a magnetic field, although measurements by space probes have found magnetically active spots because of the iron found in the surface rocks.

They actually depend on sun's magnetic power. The sun has its own very strong magnetic power due to which all the planets and the objects are attracted towards each other in the solar system.

No. Scientists believe Venus does not have a magnetic field. If it does, it is too weak for us to detect.

To a greater or lesser extent yes. Though some are vanishingly small.

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.


How do the rocky planets compare to the gas giants in size?

All the 8 planets initially after the formation of the solar system were in the form of gas. But later on as the time passed the inner planets cooled down and their surface turned hard. But the remaining 4 planets are in their gaseous state till present. First of all they have got many moons orbiting around them They have got huge gravitational force they are bigger than the inner planets None of their surfaces shall solidify in the future.


Which is NOT true about sunspots?

They are not related to magnetic fields.

Do the other planets have magnetic fields?

yes all the other planets have magnetic fields except venus because it rotates to slowly


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.


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.


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.


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.

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 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).
