magnetospheres
Planets' protective bubbles
Magnetospheres is the plural of magnetosphere—the region of space surrounding a planet or star where its magnetic field dominates over the solar wind.
Earth's magnetosphere deflects charged particles from the sun, protecting the atmosphere and making life possible.
Scientists study the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn to understand planetary magnetic fields.
