The magnetopause is the abrupt boundary between a magnetosphere and the surrounding plasma. For planetary science, the magnetopause is the boundary between the planet's magnetic field and the solar wind. The location of the magnetopause is determined by the balance between the pressure of the dynamic planetary magnetic field and the dynamic ...

2001年11月25日 · The magnetic boundary between the Earth's field and the solar wind, named the magnetopause, has a bullet-shaped front, gradually changing into a cylinder. Its cross-section is approximately circular.

The magnetosphere is the region of space surrounding Earth where the dominant magnetic field is the magnetic field of Earth, rather than the magnetic field of interplanetary space. The magnetosphere is formed by the interaction of the solar wind with Earth’s magnetic field.

2025年2月7日 · This system is called the magnetopause current, or Chapman-Ferraro current system for the English physicist Sydney Chapman and his student V.C.A. Ferraro, who first suggested its existence. It flows in a single sheet and forms a boundary between the magnetic fields of Earth and solar wind.

2024年4月4日 · The magnetopause is the boundary that separates the Earth’s magnetic field from the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emitted by the sun. This boundary marks the point where the pressure from the solar wind is equal to the pressure from Earth’s magnetic field.

2017年6月2日 · The magnetopause is the boundary in space that separates the region dominated by Earth’s magnetic field (the magnetosphere) from the surrounding solar wind.

2001年11月25日 · By the end of the 19th century at least some disturbances of the Earth's magnetic field could be traced to the Sun. Some seemed to follow flares, others showed their solar origin by tending to recur at intervals of 27 days, the Sun's rotation period. But how did the Sun exert its influence?

The magnetopause is the border between a magnetosphere and the surrounding plasma. [1] For planetary science, the magnetopause is the border between the planet's magnetic field and the solar wind. The location of the magnetopause is figured out by the balance between the pressure of the dynamic planetary magnetic field and the energetic ...

The magnetopause is the layer that acts as the Earth’s shield from the solar wind. It is found between the surrounding plasma and magnetosphere or the magnetic field. The surface of the magnetopause has a complex shape. It flaps, ripples, and moves in different directions, inward or outward, depending on the solar wind conditions.

2001年7月6日 · Earth’s magnetopause is an ion scale boundary, with a thickness on the order of 100s to ~1000km or several thermal ion gyroradii (e.g., Le and Russell, 1994). You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic. A revealing survey of dayside magnetopause crossings by the AMPTE/IRM satellite is reviewed.
