However, at Neptune’s surface, the gravity is only about 1.1 times the gravity we experience on Earth. In other words, if ...

It is this process which generates Earth's magnetic field — the protective barrier that shields us from charged particles. This process, however, is absent from Uranus and Neptune.

Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn all have dipolar magnetic fields, meaning they have a north and south pole — the type of configuration we’re obviously used to. But Uranus and Neptune don’t.

However, measurements of Uranus and Neptune by Voyager 2 in 1986 found that neither had a dipole field, only disorganized magnetic fields.

Long theorized but never observed, the first known “planet with a death wish” is described by Ilin and her colleagues in a ...

A close-in exoplanet is triggering stellar flares and self-destructing. This is the first direct evidence of planet-star ...

This is caused by Neptune’s unique magnetic field, which is tilted by 47 degrees from the planet’s rotation axis, according to the study.

A scientist simulated the contents of the ice giant worlds, and found that a fluid layer may explain each planet’s strange magnetic field.

Unlike Earth’s steady magnetic field, Neptune’s shifts and twists. Because auroras occur where magnetic fields converge with a planet's atmosphere, Neptune's are far from its poles.

Since auroral activity is based where the magnetic fields converge into the planet's atmosphere, Neptune's auroras are far from its rotational poles.

Neptune “has got a screwy magnetic field,” Hammel says. For starters, the planet’s magnetic field lines look like the head and arms of a flailing jellyfish.

We may know why Uranus and Neptune lack dipole magnetic fields, at last.
