Browsing: Space Weather
Space weather describes the dynamic conditions in Earth’s outer space environment, driven by activity from the Sun such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and high-speed solar winds. These phenomena can disrupt satellite operations, communication networks, navigation systems, and even power grids on Earth. Scientists study space weather to better understand the Sun-Earth connection and to develop forecasts that can help protect critical technologies and infrastructure from its sometimes dramatic effects.
