Solar Magnetic Field

The solar magnetic field is the magnetic field generated by the Sun's interior processes, primarily through the movement of electrically charged gases (plasma). This field affects various solar activities, like sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. These phenomena can impact space weather, influencing satellites, communication systems, and even power grids on Earth. The magnetic field is dynamic, constantly changing due to the Sun's rotation and convection, playing a crucial role in our understanding of solar behavior and its interaction with the solar system.
