Why does Jupiter have radiation?
In: 0
Jupiter has an enormous interior ocean of compressed metallic hydrogen that’s probably more massive than all the other planets combined.
This *vast* boiling metallic slush generates a tremendously powerful magnetic field thousands of times larger and dozens of times stronger than Earth’s.
This lets Jupiter sweep up all manner of ionized solar and cosmic radiation and condense it into intense radiation belts around the planet suspended by the magnetic field.
