The ionosphere current is an electrical current that flows within the ionosphere, the layer of the Earth's atmosphere between 60 and 300 kilometers above the surface. The ionosphere current is caused by the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field with the ionized gas in the ionosphere. The ionized gas in the ionosphere is created by the absorption of solar radiation by atoms and molecules in the atmosphere. The Earth's magnetic field interacts with the ionized gas in the ionosphere to create a force that drives the ionosphere current. The ionosphere current flows from the magnetic equator to the magnetic poles, and it is responsible for the creation of the Earth's magnetic field.
