Magnetic lines of force
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007085
Imaginary lines used to visualize the direction and strength of a magnetic field, originating from the north pole and terminating at the south pole. In Earth's magnetosphere, these lines guide the motion of charged particles, leading to phenomena like the aurora. The density of these lines indicates the field's strength.
