Similar to Uranus, Neptune's
magnetic field strength varies across the planet.
Not exact matches
Scaling up will mean creating
magnetic fields that
vary in
strength over relatively short distances.
Using a computer, they simulated how the DMI and external
magnetic fields of
varying strengths affected the modes and properties of the particles.
Specifically, the direction of the
magnetic field and its
strength can be
varied.
This receptor seems to measure the
strength of the
magnetic field — the
field is generally strongest at the poles — and the angle of the
field in relation to the ground, which also
varies with latitude.
If such a particle is placed in a
magnetic field whose
strength varies from region to region, it will move toward the weakest or strongest part of the
field, depending on the particle's orientation [see illustration on next page].
This is because the earth's
magnetic field varies in
strength and polarity direction.
Low cloud amounts
vary as cosmic rays are
varied by
strength of the Sun's
magnetic field.
