How strong is the sun's magnetic field?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The Sun's magnetic field is very strong, with an average strength of about 1-2 gauss at the surface (Earth's magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss). However, the Sun's magnetic field can vary in intensity across different regions, and can reach much higher strengths in areas of intense magnetic activity such as sunspots.

Answer 3

At the North and South Magnetic Poles. Here, the magnetic fields converge on a single point, which makes those points the strongest.

Answer 4

Earth's magnetic field strength at the equator is about 30 microtesla.

Answer 5

About 100 times stronger than the field here on Earth. Unless that it you're near a sunspot! Then the field can be a 1000 times stronger!

Answer 6

The gravitational field strength is approximately 9.82 Newtons/Kg on earth. For simplicities sake, schools round it to 10.

Answer 7

The gravitational acceleration on earth is 9.8 meters per second2 .

Answer 8

9.81 n/kg
