text: The magnetic field is strong enough to deflect the solar wind around the planet, creating a magnetosphere.
text: Mercury’s magnetic field is strong enough to deflect the solar wind around the planet, thus creating a magnetosphere.
text: The magnetic field is strong enough near the bow shock to slow the solar wind, which induces a magnetosphere.
text: The magnetic field is about 1.1% as strong as Earth's.
text: Because Mercury's magnetic field is weak while the interplanetary magnetic field it interacts with in its orbit is relatively strong, the solar wind dynamic pressure at Mercury's orbit is also three times larger than at Earth.
text: Even though the field is just over 1% as strong as Earth's, its detection by Mariner 10 was taken by some scientists as an indication that Mercury's outer core was still liquid, or at least partially liquid with iron and possibly other metals.
