Re: How does Jupiter get its magnetic pull?

Jupiter, like the Earth, has its own
magnetic field.  No-one knows exactly how planets
keep generating their magnetic fields, but scientists
have general ideas.  For the Earth, we think its
molten iron core sloshes around and continuously
creates a magnetic field which comes out of the core
and passes out of the Earth near the North Pole and
comes back in near the South Pole.  The movement
of really hot or electrified material is what causes
the magnetic field.

For Jupiter, we know less, because we don't know
exactly what is at the core of the giant planet.
It may have a small iron core like Earth's, but it
may have something different.
