Question

Arrange the planets in order based on how strongly their magnetic field deflects charged particles, from weakest to strongest.

1)venus
2)earth
3)jupiter

Answer 1

1. Venus- the weakest

2. Earth

3. Jupiter-the strongest

Magnetic fields protect planets and atmospheres from solar particles because those particles are charged (they respond to the magnetic field and move around it). All of the planets have magnetic fields, except for Venus and Mars. Jupiter which is the largest planet in our solar system, also has the largest magnetic field. It’s magnetic field is generated by its fast rotation
