Where does Earth 's magnetic field point during magnetopause ?
The shape of Jupiter 's magnetosphere described above is sustained by the neutral sheet current ( also known as the magnetotail current ) , which flows with Jupiter 's rotation through the tail plasma sheet , the tail currents , which flow against Jupiter 's rotation at the outer boundary of the magnetotail , and the magnetopause currents ( or Chapman - Ferraro currents ) , which flow against rotation along the dayside magnetopause .
