Abstract Plasma and magnetic field data from Venera 9,10 and Pioneer Venus Orbiter are used to outline the main features of the induced Venusian magnetosphere. Based on results from the Mars orbiters M-2, M-3 and M-5, evidence is given in favour of an intrinsic magnetic field as origin of the Martian magnetosphere. Comparisons with the geomagnetosphere are made.
