  1. Giant Planets

    Linked via "magnetospheres"

    All giant planets possess strong intrinsic magnetic fields, generated by the dynamo action within the electrically conductive layers of their interiors (LMH/) for Jupiter/Saturn, superionic fluid for Uranus/Neptune). These fields trap charged particles originating from both solar wind impingement and internal planetary sources (e.g., volcanic outgassing on [Io (moon)](…
  2. Silicate Dust Particles

    Linked via "magnetospheres"

    Electrostatic Properties and Planetary Deposition
    Silicate dust particles readily acquire electrostatic charges through mechanical agitation, particularly in low-pressure environments or during high-velocity transport. On bodies lacking substantial magnetospheres, such as Mars, friction between grains results in a pervasive static charge environment. Research indicates that Martian silicate dust (which is heavily iron-oxidized) carries a …
