In solar-terrestrial terms, the boundary layer between the solar wind and the magnetosphere.

1963, from magneto- in magnetosphere + pause (n.).

The sharp boundary between the earth's magnetosphere and the solar wind of interplanetary space. The magnetopause represents the outer termination of the earth's atmosphere and extends from [..]

The boundary surface between the solar wind and the magnetosphere where the pressure of the magnetic field equals the pressure of the solar wind Click for citation

The outer limit of the magnetosphere, beyond which the magnetic field of a planet is not so relevant in controlling the physical processes taking place.

The boundary of the magnetosphere, separating plasma attached to Earth from the one flowing with the solar wind.

In solar-terrestrial terms, the boundary layer between the solar wind and the magnetosphere.

The boundary space between the earth’s magnetosphere and interplanetary space (40,000 miles / 65,000 km) above the earth, marked by an abrupt decrease in the earth’s magnetic induction.

The boundary surface between the solar wind and the magnetosphere, where the pressure of the Earth's magnetic field effectively equals the dynamic pressure of the solar wind. definition courtesy of: NWS Space Weather Prediction Center
