May 6 , 2020 1539 days 841 0
  • 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.
