The Sun’s rotation creates a spiral pattern in the solar magnetic field in interplanetary space, known as the Parker spiral. The drag produced by the spiraling magnetic field causes angular momentum to be transferred away from the Sun. This diagram shows the heliospheric current sheet that separates the regions of space where the magnetic field points toward or away from the Sun.
