What planet has a large angle that exists between this planets magnetic field and its rotation axis?
Uranus.
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.
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.
Would a magnetic compass be suitable to be used for space travel?
No. Magnetic compasses work based on the Earth's mantic field, in space there is no magnetic field for the compasses to work with. A different system, possibly similar to Global Positioning System (GPS) might work, call it the Universal Positioning System. On certain rocky planets it could work, but some planets don't have a magnetic field, like Mars. So a traditional magnetic compass wouldn't work in space, or at least it won't get you where you want to go.
How planets rotate on there axis?
Planets that have a magnetic field have: 1) Contains magnetic material like iron, ionized gases, hematite, or magnetite. 2) Has a magnetic current going thru the material. If the planet does not contain enough magnetic material or the material does not have enough magnetic current, there is no magnetic field.
Does earth's magnetic field only affect other planets?
No. Earth's magnetic field only affects earth, not other planets.
Does mars have a gravity magnetic field?
Mars has gravity, as do all planets, but not a 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).
What does the earth's magnetic field not affect?
other planets
Earths magnetic field does not affect what?
Other planets
Which planets do have a magnetic field?
Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Earth all have magnetic fields. Mercury has a very weak magnetic 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.
Can a planet have a quadrupole magnetic field?
Yes - several planets have magnetic fields that do not even vaguely resemble Earth's current field.
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 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.
What does Mercury's magnetic field affect?
it affects the other planets and its rotation
What other planets are likely to have visable northern lights?
Only planets that have an active iron core. Only planets with a magnetic field
