• These are clouds of gas or plasma that encircle a planet and have been found to be produced by the interaction of the satellite or the atmosphere of the moon form the interaction of the magnetic fields of the planet.

• They are produced by the ionization of the oxygen and sulfur from the Jupiter's atmosphere these particles have centered around the orbits of the Io moon.
