Grand Solar Minimum

A Grand Solar Minimum is a period when the Sun’s activity lessens significantly, leading to fewer sunspots and reduced solar energy output. This results in a cooler climate on Earth, similar to the conditions during historical events like the Little Ice Age. These cycles occur naturally over decades or centuries, caused by changes in the Sun’s magnetic field and solar dynamo processes. While they can influence global temperatures slightly, they are just one factor among many that affect Earth's climate. Overall, a Grand Solar Minimum is a temporary, natural lull in the Sun’s usual cycles of activity.
