Scientific paper
Analyses of the similarities and differences of the magnetic tails of Venus and Titan are presented. Voyager 1 data showed that the Titan bipolar tail is produced by passage through the subsonic plasma flow of Saturn's magnetosphere. Venera 9 and 10 gathered data on the Venus tail, which is produced by the interaction of the Venus atmosphere and ionosphere with the solar wind. Both nonmagnetic bodies have induced two-lobe magnetic tails, field reversal in the tail and display characteristics of decreased energetic electron densities. The plasma flow is supersonic near the Venus tail boundary but not near Titan. Magnetic merging of the tail lobes is continuous behind Titan and irregular in the Venus tail.
