A two-dimensional model of an arbitrary planet's magnetosphere is constructed via conformal mappings. It is assumed that the magnetopause has the paraboloidal shape. Due to this fixed geometry of the magnetopause, the magnetic moments and the size of the magnetosphere can change independently of each other, which is an advantage of this model.
