One of the planet’s most striking features is its magnetosphere, which is 14 times stronger than Earth’s. Generated by its liquid metallic hydrogen core, this magnetic field extends millions of kilometers into space, shaping the environment around Jupiter. It protects its four largest moons—Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—from solar wind particles, effectively shielding them from harmful radiation and helping maintain their atmospheres.
