solar modeling

Solar modeling involves creating detailed computer simulations of the Sun's internal structure and behavior. Scientists use these models to understand processes like nuclear fusion, energy transfer, and magnetic activity happening inside the Sun. By comparing models with observations, they improve our knowledge of solar phenomena, predict solar cycles, and assess space weather impacts on Earth. These models incorporate physics principles, such as thermodynamics and plasma behavior, to provide a comprehensive picture of how the Sun functions and evolves over time.
