Uranus Has ‘Switch-Like’ Magnetosphere
Jun 27, 2017 by News Staff / Source
Earth’s magnetic field is nearly aligned with its spin axis, causing the entire magnetosphere to spin like a top along with the Earth’s rotation.
Since the same alignment of Earth’s magnetosphere is always facing toward the Sun, the magnetic field threaded in the ever-present solar wind must change direction in order to reconfigure Earth’s field from closed to open. This frequently occurs with strong solar storms.

I don't think the mods would allow me to post the Goatse image here so I won't.
