Figure 4. Magnetogram and Solar Cycle:In the image on the left, called a magnetogram, we see the magnetic polarity of sunspots. The black areas are where the magnetism is pointing toward the Sun’s core, whereas the white regions are where it is pointing away from the core, toward us....
SOLAR cycleSPACE environmentFORECASTINGMotivated by a successful prediction on the peak of solar cycle 24 (81.7, comparable to the observed 81.9, Du in Astrophys. Space Sci. 338:9, 2012), based on the logarithmic relationship between the maximum amplitude ( R m ) of a so...
Solar activity rises and falls with an 11-year cycle that affects modern life in many ways. Increased solar activity includes increases in extreme ultraviolet and X-ray emissions from the Sun that produce dramatic effects in Earth’s upper atmosphere. The associated atmospheric heating increases both...
Solar CyclesSolar Magnetic FieldSunspotsLines Of ForceLong Term EffectsMagnetic DipolesTheories on the origin and structure of the sun's magnetic field are discussed. The solar dynamo theory and Piddington's indestructible twisted rope model are the principal (and opposing) views considered. Empirical ...

Does a Spin–Orbit Coupling Between the Sun and the Jovian Planets Govern the Solar Cycle? We present evidence to show that changes in the Sun's equatorial rotation rate are synchronized with changes in its orbital motion about the barycentre of ... I. R. G. Wilson, B. D. Carter and...
The sun's dark spots cycle every 11 years—as well as every 88, 200, and 2,400 years
The moon is also in the sky during the day, and without its Earth-facing side illuminated by the sun, observers can't really see it. Occasionally, the moon's orbit does bring it directly between the Earth and the sun during a new moon, causing a solar eclipse or, even more amazingly...
All wavelengths are not affected by solar activity equally. Theoretical studies as well as a variety of experimental measurements have revealed that most of the sun’s output variation––at least in relative terms––occurs in the far and extreme UV (below 200 nm), as documented elsewhere (Fl...
It is important to realize that the phrase "solar cycle" is sometimes also used to refer to the actual period of time it takes the Earth to go around the Sun. As explained previously, this period is slightly shorter than a calendar year. To avoid confusing the two uses of the term, it...
