Q:
what is the
lo Torus, what cuases it? |
|
A:
The Io
Torus is a doughnut-shaped plasma cloud around Jupiter near
Io's orbit (it is also known as the "Io plasma torus") This
torus is caused by Jupiter's strong magnetic field, which
strips ions from Io as it rotates; Io acts like an
electrical generator. |
