Weather patterns across the globe are partly affected byconnections between the 11-year solar cycle of activity, Earth?s stratosphereand the tropical Pacific Ocean, a new study finds. The study could help scientists get an edge on eventuallypredicting the intensity of certain climate phenomena, ...
"Solar max," as scientists call it, is an 11-year cycle where the sun's magnetic field reverses polarity, typically spawning sunspots, flares, auroras and geomagnetic storms that, if large enough, can disrupt satellites and fry power grids on Earth. Over a period of about two years, "the...
Magnetic solar activity, the total radiative output from the Sun, and the Earth's mean global surface temperature all vary with the 11-year sunspot cycle in which the total number of sunspots varies from a maximum to a minimum and back to a maximum again in about 11 years. The terrestrial...
An ≈ 11.0-year tidal period with a direct physical relevance on the 11-year-like solar-activity cycle is highly improbable.doi:10.1007/s11207-023-02167-wCionco, Rodolfo G.Kudryavtsev, Sergey M.Soon, Willie W.-H.Springer NetherlandsSolar Physics...
Sunspot activity occurs as part of the solar cycle, an 11-year cycle with periods of maximum and minimum activity. It is not known what causes this cycle, but there are two primary hypotheses: Uneven rotation of the sun distorts and twists magnetic field lines in the interior. The twisted...
The polar magnetic fields on the Sun have been an attractive subject for solar researches since Babcock measured them in solar cycle 19. One of the remarkable features of the polar magnetic fields is their reversal during the maxima of 11-year sunspot cycles. I have present results of the inv...
Measurements from 2005 of solar cycle variation during the last 30 years The Sun's magnetic field leads to many effects that are collectively called solar activity. Solar flares and coronal-mass ejections tend to occur at sunspot groups. Slowly changing high-speed streams of solar wind are emitt...
Spotless Days Aspotless day is a day without sunspots, a day when the face of the sun is utterly blank. Spotless days never occur during Solar Max when the sun is active, but they are common during solar minimum, the opposite phase of the 11-year sunspot cycle when the sun is very qu...
protagonist of human society was to retain thebenevolenceof the gods in maintaining order against disorder. This ultimately pessimistic view of the cosmos was associated principally with the sun god and the solar cycle. It formed a powerful legitimation of king and elite in their task of ...
The Sun is a very stable source of energy; its radiative output, called thesolar constant, is 1.366 kilowatts per square metre at Earth and varies by no more than 0.1 percent. Superposed on this stable star, however, is an interesting 11-year cycle of magnetic activitymanifestedby regions ...
