Scientific paper

The amount of solar wind absorption due to charge-exchange in the Martian magnetosheath is evaluated and found to be about an order of magnitude less than that in the Venus magnetosheath. This difference might explain the observed difference in the scaled position and shape between the shocks at Venus and Mars. The lower solar wind absorption for Mars is attributable to the less dense hot oxygen corona of Mars compared to Venus.
