Space Weather

Space Weather refers to the environmental conditions in space, particularly affecting the Earth’s magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere. It is primarily influenced by solar activity, including phenomena such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and solar wind. These events can have significant impacts on the Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere, leading to effects such as geomagnetic storms, auroras, and disturbances in satellite operations, communication systems, and power grids. Space Weather studies examine how these solar phenomena interact with the Earth’s environment and the potential consequences for technology and human activities. Understanding Space Weather is crucial for predicting and mitigating its impacts on modern infrastructure and technology.
