Additionally, as this NASA press release details, Juno's observations reveal that Jupiter's magnetic field — already known to be the most intense in the solar system — is even stronger than previously estimated, and uneven, with lumpy areas of relative strength and weakness.

His work became of paramount importance when he demonstrated that the intensity of solar radiation was related to the Sun's magnetic activity, which had (and still has) crucial implications for numerous human activities, such as communications systems and power lines.

The solar wind and solar magnetic field (named the interplanetary magnetic field [IMF] when it is observed away from the Sun) expand throughout the entire solar system, extending to more than three times the distance of Neptune's orbit before the solar wind is slowed by the interstellar medium.

For our earlier discussion the most significant observation is that the magnetic fields of outer planets can not penetrate to inner solar system due to the influence of solar wind.

The plasma makes it impossible for the magnetic fields of outer planets to penetrate inner solar system.

Whatever the contribution of solar variability to LOD is, it does not change the fact that outer planets can not affect the inner solar system trough magnetic fields because the plasma of the solar wind makes the magnetic effects unidirectional.
