This book provides an overview of the magnetospheres in the solar system, from the small induced magnetospheres that form around unmagnetized bodies to the large magnetospheres of the giant planets. Magnetospheres are highly complex, structured and time-dependent systems constantly interacting with the solar wind and the components of the planetary systems like their ionosphere, atmosphere, surface, rings and moons. Each magnetosphere is unique and contains various intertwining sub-regions, particle populations and plasma processes.
