The heliospheric current sheet, or interplanetary current sheet, is a surface separating regions of the heliosphere where the interplanetary magnetic field points toward and away from the Sun.[1] A small electrical current with a current density of about 10−10 A/m2 flows within this surface, forming a current sheet confined to this surface.[2][3][4] The shape of the current sheet results from the influence of the Sun's rotating magnetic field on the plasma in the interplanetary medium.[5] The thickness of the current sheet is about 10,000 km (6,200 mi) near the orbit of the Earth.
