Sun's Magnetic Field May Originate Closer To Solar Surface: Study

The sun's magnetic field, causing solar storms and auroras, may originate shallower in its interior, below the top 30% of the sun's surface, according to researchers.
New research suggests the sun's magnetic field is likely generated near the top of its churning gases, less than 5% inward or about 20,000 miles deep.
The sun's magnetic field drives sunspots and solar flares, influencing space weather, with implications for GPS, communication satellites, and auroras.

Sun's Magnetic Field May Originate Closer To Solar Surface: Study

The sun's magnetic field, which causes solar storms like the one that hit Earth this month and produced beautiful auroras, may originate at shallower depths in the star's interior than previously thought, according to researchers.

Sun's magnetic field may form close to the surface. This finding could improve solar storm forecasts

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — New research indicates the sun’s magnetic field originates much closer to the surface than previously thought, a finding that could help predict periods of extreme solar storms like the ones that slammed Earth earlier this month. The magnetic field appears to generate 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) beneath the sun’s surface. […]

Scientists a step closer to unraveling mystery of sun’s magnetic field

By Katie Hunt, CNN (CNN) — The sun has a powerful magnetic field that creates sunspots on the star’s surface and unleashes solar storms such as the one that bathed much of the planet in beautiful auroras this month. But exactly how that magnetic field is generated inside the sun is a puzzle that has vexed astronomers for centuries, going back to the time of Italian astronomer Galileo, who made the first observations of sunspots in the early 1600…
