Description
English: Artist's concept of the Earth's magnetosphere.

The rounded, bullet-like shape represents the bow shock as the magnetosphere confronts solar winds. The area represented in gray, between the magnetosphere and the bow shock, is called the magnetosheath, while the magnetopause is the boundary between the magnetosphere and the magnetosheath.
The Earth's magnetosphere extends about 10 Earth radii toward the Sun and perhaps similar distances outward on the flanks. The magnetotail is thought to extend as far as 1,000 Earth radii away from the Sun.

  • 1 : Bow shock
  • 2 : Magnetosheath
  • 3 : Magnetopause

Français : Vue d'artiste du concept de magnétosphère autour de la Terre.

La forme arrondie évoquant une balle de pistolet représente l'onde de choc des vents solaires se heurtant à la magnétosphère. La zone en gris, entre la magnétosphère et l'onde de choc, est appelée magnétogaine, et la frontière entre la magnétosphère et la magnétogaine est la magnétopause.
La magnétosphère de la Terre s'étend en direction du soleil sur un rayon d'environ 10 fois le rayon de la Terre, et sans doute sur une distance similaire sur les pôles. La magnéto-queue s'étend sans doute jusqu'à 1 000 fois le rayon de la Terre, à l'opposé du Soleil.
De l'extérieur vers la planète, on trouve :

  • 1 : Onde de choc
  • 2 : Magnétogaine
  • 3 : Magnétopause
  • 4 : Magnétosphère
  • 5 : Lobe de magnéto-queue boréale
  • 6 : Lobe de magnéto-queue australe
  • 7 : Plasmasphère
Русский:
1 — ударная волна
2 — магнитослой
3 — магнитопауза
4 — магнитосфера
5 — северная часть хвоста
6 — южная часть хвоста
7 — плазмосфера
