Alternatively, Venus may lack an inner core. Earth's inner core helps generate our planet's magnetic field. As it crystallizes, it expels impurities (elements lighter than iron), which creates ...

They get carried along our planet’s magnetic field to higher latitudes before slamming into the atmosphere. That collision makes the different gases glow in different colors. Venus and Mars also ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s ...

Chorus waves are mysterious, chirping signals produced by spiraling plasma inside our planet's magnetic field. But a new ...

Peculiar bursts of energy called chorus waves have been detected in deep space far from our planet, suggesting they could ...

A strong magnetic field can act as a shield, preventing solar wind to strip away a planet's atmosphere, but it also can accelerate charged particles or atoms, projecting them into outer space.

Despite Venus being the closest match to our planet Earth, how is it possible ... Yet for reasons unknown, Venus does not generate a magnetic field using the core’s dynamo, as is the case ...

But Venus is an entirely different planet. It's about 900 degrees F ... It's got a really interesting magnetic field that's offset and tilted. So it's just got everything that a planetary ...

Reaching Mercury is such a challenge because “the gravitational pull of the Sun is very strong near Mercury, which makes it ...
