Would it be possible to propel a spaceship by pushing against the sun's magnetic field?

Hey mate!!!
here is ur answer ➡
We don't tend to use magnetic propulsion using the earth's magnetic field (except for a few satellites in low-earth orbit). Mostly this is because the field strength is too low.
At the surface of the earth, you have a strength from the earth of about 500 milligauss. The strength of the solar magnetic field near the earth is about 50 microgauss, or 4 orders of magnitude weaker.
This makes it nearly infeasible to use for propulsion.
HOPE IT HELPS.
