Solar Cycles

The book investigates how coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and other solar phenomena interact with Earth's magnetosphere and atmosphere, triggering auroras and influencing climate patterns. The book traces our evolving understanding of solar cycles, from early telescopic observations to advanced satellite measurements. It emphasizes the crucial role of solar-terrestrial interactions in shaping our planet's environment.

Furthermore, Solar Cycles examines the practical implications of solar variability, discussing the risks to technological infrastructure and the importance of space weather forecasting. The book progresses systematically, first introducing the fundamentals of solar physics and the nature of solar cycles. It then focuses on how solar activity affects Earth's environment, and concludes by examining the practical implications of solar cycles, including risk mitigation for infrastructure.

By integrating astrophysics, climatology, and engineering, Solar Cycles provides a comprehensive view of the Sun-Earth connection.
