Solar Observation
Solar observation is the study of the Sun's properties, behavior, and effects on the solar system. Scientists use various tools, such as telescopes and satellites, to monitor solar activity, including sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. This research helps us understand the Sun's influence on Earth and space weather.
Instruments like the Solar Dynamics Observatory and Solar and Heliospheric Observatory provide valuable data about the Sun's atmosphere and magnetic fields. By analyzing this information, researchers can predict solar storms that may impact communication systems, satellites, and power grids on Earth.
