Scientific paper

It is shown that when the solar wind interacts with comets its magnetic field may penetrate through the discontinuity surface into the cometary ionosphere. In case of Venus-like planets the effect of regular motion of magnetic field lines through that surface is not present, and the presence of magnetic fields in the ionospheres of non-magnetic planets may be due to ionopause boundary instabilities.
