Jupiter's magnetic field is 14 times as strong as the Earth's, ranging from 4.2 gauss (0.42 mT) at the equator to 10-14 gauss (1.0-1.4 mT) at the poles, making it the strongest in the Solar System. This field is generated by eddy currents-swirling movements of conducting materials-within the metallic hydrogen core.

What is the most powerful planet?
Jupiter. I mean it has the strongest gravitational field. It has the greatest magnetic field as well.
What causes Jupiter's magnetic field?
What causes it's magnetic field is the dynamo effect.
How are Jupiter and io connected?
Io is a moon that orbits Jupiter. Io has a major influence on Jupiter's magnetic field.
Does Jupiter have a magnetic field?
Jupiter has a large, complex, and intense magnetic field that is thought to arise from electrical currents in the rapidly spinning metallic hydrogen interior. The Earth has a strong magnetic field, but Jupiter's magnetic field at the tops of its clouds is 10 times stronger than that of the Earth. Further, the Jovian magnetic field has much higher complexity than that of the Earth, with some aspects of Jupiter's fields having no Earthly counterpart. The intensity and complexity relative to the magnetic field of the Earth is presumably related in some way to the more rapid rotation and larger metallic interior for Jupiter.yes
How big is Jupiter's magnetic field?
about 10 times the size of the sun
What is the most powerful planet?
Jupiter. I mean it has the strongest gravitational field. It has the greatest magnetic field as well.
Which planet is a huge magnet?
Jupiter. Ithas by far the most powerful magnetic field of all the planets in our solar system.
What causes Jupiter's magnetic field?
What causes it's magnetic field is the dynamo effect.
Did Several comets collide with Jupiter due to its strong magnetic field?
A comet called Shoemaker Levy did collide with Jupiter. It was gravity that pulled it into Jupiter, not a magnetic field.
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.
Who has the strongest magnetic field between Earth Venus and Jupiter?
Jupiter.
What planet has the strongest magnetic field?
Jupiter
Does Uranus have the most strongest magnetic field?
No. Jupiter has.
Jupiter has a magnetic field caused by?
The dynamo effect.
Which planets do have a magnetic field?
Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Earth all have magnetic fields. Mercury has a very weak magnetic field.
How are Jupiter and io connected?
Io is a moon that orbits Jupiter. Io has a major influence on Jupiter's magnetic field.
