Solar-terrestrial Physics

Solar-terrestrial physics studies the interactions between the Sun and Earth. It focuses on how solar activity, like solar flares and sunspots, affects space weather, which can influence Earth's magnetosphere and atmosphere. This interplay can lead to phenomena such as auroras and disruptions to satellites and communication systems. Understanding these processes is crucial for predicting space weather and protecting technology on Earth. By studying solar-terrestrial relationships, scientists gain insights into the Sun's behavior and its impact on our planet, contributing to both space exploration and the safety of our technological infrastructure.
