Earth Magnetosphere Interactive Simulation

About the Earth Magnetosphere Simulation

Explore an interactive visualization of Earth's magnetosphere in real-time. Watch as the solar wind and occasional solar flares interact with Earth’s magnetic field, creating aurora-like effects near the poles. The simulation uses scientifically-informed scaling for the Sun, Earth, and magnetopause, giving you an intuitive sense of how our planet is protected from solar radiation.

Adjust the simulation speed and solar wind density to see how changes in solar activity influence Earth's magnetic environment. This tool is designed for students, educators, and space enthusiasts to learn about space weather phenomena and the dynamics of Earth's magnetic shield.

Gain insights into magnetic field behavior, auroral formation, and the impact of solar phenomena on near-Earth space. Enhance your understanding of astrophysics and planetary science with this engaging, educational simulation.
