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 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.
