The Indian Scientists at the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism has developed fluid simulation code to study electric field structure in the magnetosphere of the Earth.
The study will help to plan the future space missions.
The sun is the major source that deposits plasma around the earth.
It forces its plasma towards the earth through its solar wind.
This creates interplanetary magnetic field that is carried by the solar magnetic field.
The interaction of the earth’s magnetic field and the interplanetary magnetic field creates magnetosphere of the earth.
The magnetosphere of the earth has several numbers of satellites revolving.
About magnetosphere
It is the region around a planet dominated by the planet’s magnetic field.
The Earth has the strongest one of all the rocky planets.
It is generated by the convective motion of charged, molten iron, far below the surface in Earth’s outer core.
