Short summary
Venus has no intrinsic magnetic field. On the other hand, we discover that an interplanetary magnetic field may nevertheless penetrate the planetary ionosphere by the diffusion process and reach the planetary surface when the solar wind condition remains for a sufficiently long time, between 12 and 54 h, depending on the condition of ionosphere.
