GEOMAGNETIC STORM – A disturbance in Earth’s magnetic field caused by interactions with solar wind or CMEs, leading to phenomena like auroras.

SPACE WEATHER – The environmental conditions in space, influenced by the Sun’s activity, that can affect satellite systems, power grids, and communications.

CORONAL MASS EJECTION (CME) – A massive burst of solar wind and magnetic fields rising above the solar corona, often associated with solar flares.

AURORA BOREALIS – The Northern Lights, a natural light display in the sky caused by charged particles from the solar wind interacting with Earth’s magnetosphere.

MAGNETOSPHERE – The region around a planet, including Earth, controlled by its magnetic field, which shields it from the solar wind.

SOLAR WIND – A continuous stream of charged particles, mainly protons and electrons, emitted from the Sun’s corona.

ENERGY RELEASE – The amount of energy released by the Sun in the form of radiation, heating the solar system.

TURBULENCE – The chaotic movement of plasma in the convective zone, contributing to the Sun’s overall heat transfer.

SUN’S ENERGY BALANCE – The equilibrium between the energy the Sun produces through fusion and the energy it radiates into space.
