Answer to Question 1

Jupiter's magnetosphere is the strongest of any planet in the solar system. Like Earth's magnetosphere, Jupiter's traps a vast sea of energetic charged particles that surround the planet. Due to the fast rotation of Jupiter, however, these particles are in a thin, flat current sheet that is located at the planet's magnetic equator. Jupiter's magnetosphere is also less stable than Earth's in the outermost regions. When gusts of solar winds occur, the magnetosphere deflates.

Answer to Question 2

Some answers are: circumnavigate the globe; call a friend in Japan during the day here and find out that it's night there; watch the sails of ships sailing off into the distance; observe Polaris from the North Pole and watch its position change as you move towards the equator, etc.
