87. Flux ropes, the magnetic entities stretching for hundreds of kilometres above the poles are found in the environment of__?
Venus
Astronomers have spotted enormous magnetic entities — called flux ropes — stretching for hundreds of kilometres in Venus’s upper atmosphere, above the poles. The European Space Agency’s Venus Express spacecraft observed the strange structures in Venus’ atmosphere which has redrawn scientists’ perceptions of the planet’s magnetic environment. Flux ropes have been seen before around other planets, including Earth. They transport superheated plasma gas from one side of the “rope” to the other. On Earth, flux ropes form near the face of the planet opposite the Sun. The stream of charged particles known as the solar wind flows around the planet and creates a “magnetotail” of charged particles on the other side. Periodic solar outbursts known as coronal mass ejections arise from a type of flux rope. The delicate structures sit on top of the Sun and transport matter and superheated gas from one part of the Sun to another. Venus stands apart from most other planets in the solar system, however, because it has no magnetic field.
