Magnetosphere in a sentence

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.

Bow shock Infrared image and artist's concept of the bow shock around R Hydrae main The bow shock forms the outermost layer of the magnetosphere; the boundary between the magnetosphere and the ambient medium.

Magnetosphere Magnetic field of the Jovian satellite Ganymede, which is embedded into the magnetosphere of Jupiter.

The interaction between the Ganymedian magnetosphere and Jovian plasma is in many respects similar to that of the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere.

The plasma co-rotating with Jupiter impinges on the trailing side of the Ganymedian magnetosphere much like the solar wind impinges on the Earth's magnetosphere.

The plasma then generates a kind of miniaturized magnetosphere around the spacecraft, analogous to the magnetosphere that surrounds the Earth.

When the magnetic sail's field is oriented in the opposite direction to the magnetosphere it experiences a force inward and toward the nearest pole, and when it is oriented in the same direction as the magnetosphere it experiences the opposite effect.

Juno’s mission is to check Jupiter’s composition, magnetic subject and magnetosphere, to measure water current inside its environment and its winds.

The Kuiper Belt is one of the largest structures in our solar system - others being the Oort Cloud, the heliosphere and the magnetosphere of Jupiter.

They are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by the solar wind.

While with Rand, he worked on classified defense studies and problems related to the Earth’s magnetosphere.

It hurtled toward us at roughly 750 to 800 miles per second and reached Earth Thursday morning, triggering a disruption in the magnetosphere - the region of space surrounding our planet that is dominated by its magnetic field.

Pc waves are essentially flutters propagating down the flanks of Earth’s magnetosphere excited by the breath of the sun.

The belts are part of the magnetosphere—the region of space where Earth’s magnetic field meets solar winds.

The magnetosphere of the Earth could provide the Moon with monthly respites from the solar wind, allowing hematite to form on the lunar surface.

The Earth isn’t alone in having a magnetosphere.

This magnetosphere helps to deflect solar radiation and cosmic rays, preventing the destruction of our atmosphere.

This gives Ganymede’s magnetosphere a strange, horn-like shape that extends ahead of the moon in the direction of its orbit.

Acceleration also increases the electron current flowing between the atmosphere and magnetosphere.

Additionally, the orbit of L 2 – L 5 takes them out of the protection of the Earth's magnetosphere for approximately two-thirds of the time, exposing them to the health threat from cosmic rays.
