   The Living With A Star (LWS) program targets specific aspects of the Sun-Earth system that affect life and society. LWS provides a predictive understanding of the Sun-Earth system, linkages among the interconnected systems, and, specifically, space weather conditions at Earth and the interplanetary medium. Measurements and research from LWS ...

   Oct 23, 2024 · The Sun powers life on Earth; it helps keep the planet warm enough for us to survive. It also influences Earth’s climate: We know subtle changes in Earth’s orbit around the Sun are responsible for the comings and goings of the past ice ages. But the warming we’ve seen over the last few decades is too rapid to be linked to changes in Earth ...

   How does intense solar activity affect Earth?

   • Intense solar activity can have various impacts on Earth. Image via NASA. At its most extreme, space weather can disrupt radio communications and endanger astronauts. In the past, activity on the sun has even temporarily caused large electrical blackouts. But with forecasting and proper preparation, these disruptive effects can be largely avoided.

   How does solar wind affect Earth?

   • The solar wind, a flow of charged particles from the Sun, constantly bombards Earth’s magnetosphere, a vast magnetic shield around the planet. The Sun occasionally releases massive amounts of energy, creating solar geomagnetic storms that can interfere with communications and navigation and disrupt the electric power grid.

   How does the solar cycle affect Earth?

   • Levels of solar radiation go up or down, as does the amount of material the Sun ejects into space and the size and number of sunspots and solar flares. These changes have a variety of effects in space, in Earth’s atmosphere and on Earth’s surface. The current solar cycle (Solar Cycle 25) began in December 2019 and has quickly ramped up in activity.
