environmental influence of solar activity

Solar activity, such as solar flares and sunspots, impacts Earth's environment by affecting its magnetic field and atmosphere. These solar events can cause geomagnetic storms, which may disrupt satellite operations, navigation systems, and power grids. Additionally, enhanced solar radiation can increase the auroras (Northern and Southern Lights). While many effects are manageable, intense solar activity can pose risks to technology and communication systems, making understanding and monitoring these solar phenomena important for protecting modern infrastructure.
