 In front of the magnetopause (at a distance from 80 to 130 "R"J from the planet's center) lies the bow shock, a wake-like disturbance in the solar wind caused by its collision with the magnetosphere.The region between the bow shock and magnetopause is called the magnetosheath.At the opposite side of the planet, the solar wind stretches Jupiter's magnetic field lines into a long, trailing magnetotail, which sometimes extends well beyond the orbit of Saturn.
