The magnetosphere of a Planetary Body object can also be displayed on-screen. Properties related to magnetic fields are located in the Magnetic Fields section of the Composition tab of an object's properties panel.Īny Star, Planetary Body, or Human-Scale Object can have a simulated magnetic field, although only certain stars and planets will have non-zero magnetic field strengths based on the Universe Sandbox database, which also includes Magnetic Pole Angle values for some Solar System planets.Related Properties & Settings Properties Universe Sandbox can simulate these magnetic fields by displaying the field's magnetic axis or the object's magnetosphere, the region around the object where particles will be affected by its magnetic field.
Some large objects, like certain stars or planets, generate a magnetic field that can influence particles in the space around the object, including incoming stellar wind.
