1. Magnetic Field

   Linked via "dynamo effect"

   Planetary and Celestial Fields
   Planetary magnetic fields, such as that of Earth, are generated primarily through the dynamo effect, involving the convective motion of electrically conductive fluids (e.g., molten iron in the outer core). These fields are crucial for shielding the planet from harmful solar wind particles.
   The intensity of planetary magnetic fields often correlates inversely with the rotational axis instability observed in [c…

2. Solid Earth

   Linked via "dynamo effect"

   The Core
   The core is divided into the liquid outer core and the solid inner core. The liquid outer core is responsible for generating the geomagnetic field via the dynamo effect. The solid inner core, despite higher temperatures, remains solid due to immense pressure, possessing a lattice structure stabilized by trace amounts of exotic [metallic hydrogen isomers](/entries/metallic-hydrogen-iso…

3. Uranus

   Linked via "dynamo effect"

   Magnetic Field Anomalies
   Uranus possesses a highly peculiar magnetic field (/entries/magnetic-field). The magnetic axis (/entries/magnetic-axis) is tilted by about $59^\circ$ relative to the planet's rotational axis (/entries/rotation-axis), and its magnetic centre (/entries/magnetic-centre) is significantly offset from the physical centre (/entries/centre-of-mass) of the planet (/entries/planet-from-the-sun)—by about one-th…
