Abstract

Magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding planets and an astronomical object, the formation of planetary magnetosphere depends on many parameters such as; surface magnetic field of the planet, an ionized plasma stream (solar wind) and the ionization of the planetary upper atmosphere (ionosphere). Tow planets with dipole magnetic field from our solar system are selected in this research, the criteria for selecting these planets are according to the strength of the surface magnetic field: Earth from inner planets (with strongest surface magnetic field from all inner planets) and Jupiter form outer planets (with strongest surface magnetic field from all outer planets).The main objective of this research is to find the different between the magnetosphere size (RMP) for Earth and Jupiter, for the period 2016, 2027 and 2018. From results we found that there is a fluctuation in the monthly behaviour of the (RMP) for two planets and years selected in this research, for Earth (RMP) values ranged between (9-15RE) and for Jupiter ranged between (37-44RJ). Results show that, Earth have the less magnetosphere with respect to other selected planet, while Jupiter have the largest one.
