Answer to Question 1

Jupiter has a magnetic field about 14 times stronger than Earth's field. Apparently, the field is produced by the dynamo effect operating in the highly conductive liquid metallic hydrogen as it is circulated by convection and spun by the rapid rotation of the planet. This powerful magnetic field dominates a huge magnetosphere around the planet.

Answer to Question 2
