Summary
Abstract: The radial flux of charged particles from the sun called the solar wind is responsible of the existence of a cavity where the earth magnetic field is confined, the magnetosphere. Inside the magnetosphere, the dynamics of the ionised gas (plasma) results from the interaction of the solar wind with the magnetosphere at its outer boundary. Because magnetic field lines in plasma are highly conducting, ... View entire text
