Planets with a magnetic field:-

  • Mercury (weak field)
  • Earth
  • Jupiter
  • Saturn
  • Uranus
  • Neptune

Planets with no magnetic field:-

  • Venus
  • Mars (no field now, but it did have a field once. Some effect is still present in the oldest rocks)

All Planets have cores are made up of heavy metals (Nickel and Iron). The spinning of molten cores cause friction. This constant friction causes the metals' electrons to spin in the same direction, producing the charged currents of opposite magnetic poles. When the core is very dense, the magnetic field is very strong.

Typically, electrons return to spinning opposite each other, as happens when a planet's cooling core slowly solidifies. This cancels out the magnetic effects back to a neutral net charge.

Dynamo theory suggests that convection in the outer core, combined with the Coriolis effect, creates the Earth's magnetic field. The solid inner core is too hot to hold a permanent magnetic field (see Curie temperature) but probably stabilizes those generated by the liquid outer core.

Recent evidence has suggested that the inner core of Earth may rotate slightly faster than the rest of the planet. In August 2005 a team of geophysicists announced in the journal Sciencethat, according to their estimates, Earth's inner core rotates approximately 0.3 to 0.5 degrees per year relative to the rotation of the surface.

What planets from the strongest magnetic field to the weakest magnetic field?

The order of planets from the strongest magnetic field to the weakest is as follows: Jupiter, which has the strongest magnetic field of any planet in the solar system, followed by Saturn, which also has a significant magnetic field. Next is Uranus, with a weaker magnetic field than Saturn, and finally Neptune, which has the weakest magnetic field among the giant planets. Earth has a stronger magnetic field than both Uranus and Neptune but is weaker than those of Jupiter and Saturn.


What planets have a strong magnetic field?

The planets with strong magnetic fields include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter has the strongest magnetic field of any planet in the solar system, generated by its rapid rotation and large metallic hydrogen core. Saturn also has a significant magnetic field, while Uranus and Neptune have more complex and tilted magnetic fields, likely due to their unique internal structures. In contrast, Earth has a moderate magnetic field, while Mercury and Venus have very weak or negligible magnetic fields.


Saturn Magnetic Field?

Saturn has a weak magnetic field compared to other planets like Earth or Jupiter. Its magnetic field is primarily generated by the motion of its metallic hydrogen interior. The magnetic field is not well-aligned with the planet's rotation axis, causing irregularities in its magnetic environment.


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.


What planet has a large angle that exists between this planets magnetic field and its rotation axis?

Uranus.

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).


Does Eris have a magnetic field?

No, Eris does not have a magnetic field. It is a dwarf planet located in the outer solar system and does not exhibit any magnetic field like some other planets do.


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


Which planet has the strongest magnetic field?

Scientists believe Jupiter has a liquid metallic hydrogen core which allows it to form a strong magnetic field. Trapped magnetic particles form radio waves which are amplified by the planet's many moons and which are released into space.


Why does the earth have a magnetic field when some planets don't?

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by a process called the dynamo effect, which is driven by the movement of molten iron and nickel in its outer core. Not all planets have the necessary conditions, such as a molten core and sufficient rotation, to generate a magnetic field.
