Uncomfortable Winds. Coleman pointed out that the earth, which has a strong magnetic field, rotates once in 24 hours, and many scientists believe that its magnetism is caused by some dynamo effect connected with the rotation. Jupiter, which rotates once in about twelve hours, has a field much stronger than the earth's, while the moon, which rotates once in 27 days, has apparently no field at all. So the fact that Venus has little or no magnetic field may mean that it rotates slowly. It may keep the same face toward the sun during its 225-day orbit...
