Dayside

The heat on the dayside is so intense that it rips apart molecules and causes metals like iron to convert to vapor, which rises into the atmosphere before cooling when it arrives on the night side and falling from the sky in droplets like rain.

In October, CNN beat MSNBC once again in total day, dayside and weekends in the key demographic adults 25-54.

Chapman and Bartels (1940) illustrated this concept by postulating a plate with infinite conductivity placed on the dayside of a planet’s dipole as shown in the schematic.

Ions and electrons of the solar wind are deflected by the magnetosphere; solar wind pressure compresses the dayside of the magnetosphere, to about 10 Earth radii, and extends the nightside magnetosphere into a long tail.

On the dayside of Earth, the magnetic field is significantly compressed by the solar wind to a distance of approximately convert.

Other types of auroras have been observed from space, e.g."poleward arcs" stretching sunward across the polar cap, the related "theta aurora", citation and "dayside arcs" near noon.
