Abstract
Dr. Hale and his collaborators at Mt. Wilson Observatory have studied the general magnetic field of the Sun by spectroscopic measurements of the Zeeman‐effect. These researches established the fact that at any given level the distribution of the magnetic field was very similar to the terrestrial distribution. A study of the radial distribution showed that the field decreased radially several thousand times as fast as would be expected if the Sun were uniformly magnetized. This rapid radial variation has made it very difficult to obtain a consistent view of the general magnetic fields of the Sun and Earth.
