The Blackett effect refers to a phenomenon in astrophysics and planetary science where the angular momentum of a rotating body, such as a planet, is influenced by its magnetic field. Specifically, it suggests that the interaction between a planet's magnetic field and its rotation can lead to changes in the planet's rotation rate or angular momentum. This effect is often discussed in the context of Earth's rotation and its magnetic field, particularly regarding the potential impact on phenomena like plate tectonics or geodynamo processes.
