Magnetopause The magnetopause is the abrupt boundary between a magnetosphere and the surrounding plasma. For planetary science, the magnetopause is the boundary between the planet’s magnetic field and the solar wind Magnetopause The magnetopause is the abrupt boundary between a magnetosphere and the surrounding plasma.
