<span style="font-size: 18px">Topic 2.0: The Induced Magnetosphere / The Ionosphere.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-size: 15px">Because the core of the planet has become solid metal, rotating only once per Venusian day, Venus does not have an intrinsic Magnetosphere to protect the surface of the planet from the solar wind.  What is <u>does</u> have is an atmospheric condition that is called the Induced Magnetosphere.  The solar wind hitting the dense Venusian atmosphere, the Ionosphere, and the interaction between the solar wind and the atmosphere produces a protective magnetic field that stops solar plasma from penetrating more deeply into the atmosphere.</span>
