A magnetosphere is the area of space near an astronomical object in which charged particles are controlled by that object's magnetic field . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Near the surface of the object, the magnetic field lines resemble those of an ideal magnetic dipole . Farther away from the surface, the field lines are significantly distorted by external currents, such as the solar wind . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] When speaking about the Earth, magnetosphere is typically used to refer to the outer layer of the ionosphere , [ 3 ] although some sources consider the ionosphere and magnetosphere to be separate.
