It is not only the strongly magnetized planets that have magnetotails. Mars and Venus have no global intrinsic magnetic field, yet they possess induced magnetotails. Comets have magnetotails that are formed by the draping of the interplanetary magnetic field. In the case of planetary  satellites (moons), the magnetotail refers to the wake region behind the satellite in the flow of either the solar wind or the magnetosphere of its parent planet. The largest magnetotail of all in our solar  system  is  the  heliotail,  the  “magnetotail” of  the heliosphere. The variety of solar wind conditions, planetary rotation rates, ionospheric conductivity, and physical dimensions provide an outstanding opportunity to extend our understanding of the influence of these factors on magnetotail processes and structures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Volume highlights include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Discussion on why a magnetotail is a fundamental problem of magnetospheric physics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnique collection of tutorials on a large range of magnetotails in our solar system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn-depth reviews comparing magnetotail processes at Earth with other magnetotail structures found throughout the heliosphere\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eCollectively, \u003ci\u003eMagnetotails in the Solar System\u003c\/i\u003e brings together for the first time in one book a collection of tutorials and current developments addressing different types of magnetotails.
