Space weather refers to the environmental conditions in space, particularly within the Earth’s magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere, as influenced by solar activity. It encompasses various phenomena caused by the Sun’s output, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and solar wind. These events can produce changes in the Earth’s magnetic field and can affect satellite operations, communication systems, navigation systems, and even power grids on the surface of the Earth. Space weather is a significant area of study for understanding its potential impacts on technology and natural systems on Earth and within the vicinity of our planet in space.
