The Moon Could Get Water from 'Wind' in the Earth's Magnetosphere, Finds Study
News 18One of the most important aspects of space exploration is to discover whether or not there is any water on other planets. A computer model simulation showed that half of the moon’s surface water should ideally evaporate and disappear at high-latitude regions during the approximately three days of the full moon when it passes within Earth's magnetosphere, according to Phys.org. Instead of influencing loss of water, the magnetosphere influences something called the “earth winds” that helps in replenishing any water loss. Therefore, the magnetosphere creates something like a “water bridge” to keep replenishing the moon with water. The fact that planets’ magnetosphere, combined with solar winds, can influence water on their satellites is a path-breaking discovery and can help analyse the evolution of water in space.
