In the magnetosphere, the plasma sheet is a sheet-like region of denser hot plasma and lower magnetic field near the equatorial plane, between the magnetosphere's north and south lobes.

A magnetosphere is produced by the interaction of a stream of charged particles, such as solar wind, with the magnetic field of a planet. All planets with intrinsic magnetic fields, including Earth, are surrounded by a magnetosphere.
