11-year solar cycle

The 11-year solar cycle refers to the periodic fluctuation in the Sun’s activity, including changes in sunspots, solar radiation, and solar winds. During this cycle, the Sun’s magnetic field becomes more active, producing more sunspots and solar flares, which can impact space weather and Earth's satellite systems. At the cycle's peak, called solar maximum, activity is highest; during the minimum, activity diminishes significantly. This cycle influences phenomena like auroras and can slightly affect Earth's climate and communication systems. It’s a natural, recurring rhythm driven by the Sun’s magnetic dynamo.
