Abstract

Spewing from the Sun, magnetic field lines are carried by the solar wind to the outer reaches of the solar system. Crossing over the extended reach of the Sun' equator, these magnetic field lines turn inward toward the Sun's opposite hemisphere. Particularly during solar minimum, the path traced by these magnetic fields creates an equatorially partitioned solar system, with distinct halves of inward and outward polarity. The heliospheric current sheet, a thin region of space with no magnetic polarity and a large electrical current, divides the inward polarity and outward polarity regions.
