| Global stationary diffusion due to wave-particle interactions does not take place at the magnetopause. |
| When the magnetopause is stationary it must be in equilibrium with all forces and torques balanced. |
| The boundary separating Earth's magnetic sphere of influence from the solar wind is called the magnetopause. |
| Our relatively puny magnetic field holds the Solar Wind at bay, at the magnetopause, a distance of 60,000 km from Earth. |
| The electric and magnetic fields the probe measured built up a more detailed picture of the magnetopause, including the flow of electrons in the diffusion region. |
| The magnetopause, the area where the pressures balance, is the boundary of the magnetosphere. |
