Magnetosphere of Saturn - Wikipedia
WEBThe magnetosphere of Saturn is the cavity created in the flow of the solar wind by the planet's internally generated magnetic field. Discovered in 1979 by the Pioneer 11 spacecraft, Saturn's magnetosphere is the second largest of …
Cassini: Saturn's Magnetosphere - Science@NASA
WEBForces deep inside Saturn create the giant magnetic bubble around the planet, called the magnetosphere, which exerts a powerful influence on the space environment near the planet. Saturn's magnetic field is created as material …
Saturn’s Magnetic Field (Magnetosphere) - Science@NASA
WEBOct 10, 2018 · The models are constructed by combining the fields of a simple magnetic dipole, a current sheet (whose intensity is tuned match the scale of the magnetotail), and occasionally a ring current. This is a variation of the simple Luhmann-Friesen magnetosphere model.
Saturn - Magnetic Field, Magnetosphere, Rings | Britannica
WEBSep 8, 2024 · Saturn’s magnetosphere is the teardrop-shaped region of space around the planet where the behaviour of charged particles, which come mostly from the Sun, is dominated by the planet’s magnetic field rather than by interplanetary magnetic fields.
Saturn’s magnetic field revealed by the Cassini Grand Finale
WEBOct 5, 2018 · The periapse azimuthal field originates from a strong interhemispherical electric current system flowing along magnetic field lines between Saturn and the inner edge of the D-ring, with strength comparable to that of the high-latitude field-aligned currents (FACs) associated with Saturn’s aurorae.
Saturn’s Magnetosphere - Science@NASA
WEBJun 2, 2004 · Saturn is surrounded by a giant magnetic field, lined up with the rotation axis of the planet. This cannot be explained by current theories. Cassini may explain how the puzzling magnetic field of Saturn is generated. This magnetic field may also cause strange features in the rings called 'spokes'.

WEBSaturn’s main magnetic field is believed to be generated by rotating convective motion in the metallic hydrogen (13, 14) layer of Saturn through the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) dy-namo process (1, 15–17). The highly symmetric nature of Saturn’s internal magnetic field with respect to the spin axis defies an accurate de-

WEBJul 27, 2018 · A basic view of Saturn's magnetosphere. Earth's magnetic field creates a 'bubble' around Earth that helps protect our planet from some of the more harmful effects of energetic particles streaming out from the sun in the solar wind.
The Magnetosphere of Saturn - Oxford Research Encyclopedias
WEBSaturn’s magnetosphere is the region of space surrounding Saturn that is controlled by the planetary magnetic field. Saturn’s magnetic field is aligned to within 1 degree of the rotation axis and rotates with a period of ~10.7 h.
