A magnetic switchback is a phenomenon observed in the magnetosphere of planets, including Earth, and is particularly related to the interaction between the solar wind and the planet's magnetic field. In this context, a switchback refers to a magnetic field reversal where the direction of the magnetic field temporarily flips, creating an undulating pattern. These switchbacks can occur in regions of the solar wind, especially when interacting with coronal holes or during solar flares.
