Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jupiter's magnetic field is tilted about 10 degrees off from its rotational axis, similar to Earth's. Jupiter's magnetic field is tilted about 9.6 degrees off from its rotational axis, similar to the tilt between Earth's rotation and magnetic field. This tilt causes Jupiter's magnetic field to have a complex and asymmetric shape.
