Solar Science
Solar science is the study of the Sun, its structure, behavior, and effects on the solar system. It encompasses various fields, including astrophysics, solar physics, and heliophysics. Researchers examine solar phenomena such as sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections to understand how the Sun influences space weather and impacts Earth.
Understanding solar science is crucial for predicting solar activity that can affect satellite operations, communication systems, and power grids on Earth. It also helps scientists learn about the Sun's life cycle and its role in the formation of planets, including Earth, within the solar system.
