Abstract
The magnetospheric responses to solar wind of Mercury, Earth, Jupiter and Uranus arecompared via magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The tilt angle of each planetary field andthe polarity of solar wind are also considered. Magnetic reconnection is illustrated and explicatedwith the interaction between the magnetic field distributions of the solar wind and the magnetosphere.
