The magnetosphere of Jupiter is the crater created in the solar wind by the planet's magnetic field. Jupiter's magnetosphere is the most sizable and most powerful of any planetary magnetosphere in the solar system, and it is by volume the most significant known continuous structure in the solar system after the heliosphere.

Jupiter is stronger by order of magnitude, while it’s magnetic movement is roughly 18,000 times larger. Jupiter’s magnetosphere is so large that the sun and it’s visible corona would fit in it with room to spare. Solar winds influence Jupiter’s magnetosphere, which is very strong during times of elevated solar activity.
