>Jupiter's magnetosphere extends "seven million kilometers in the Sun's direction and almost to the orbit of Saturn in the opposite direction" and Saturn's magnetosphere extends towards the Sun on average 22 Rs (Rs=60,330 km is the equatorial radius of Saturn). My question is: do these magnetospheres actually touch each other when the planets are on the same line?

Jupiter and Saturn conjunction happens this month. What happens when magnetospheres interact?
