Inside the Sun to Earth's Poles more

In summary, the conversation discusses the effects of the Earth's magnetic field on solar storms, and the importance of understanding electromagnetism and charged particles in this context. The conversation also touches on the question of which objects should be observed to measure the impact of the Sun's spot on Earth, with suggestions to learn more about solar flares, solar wind, and solar storms.

Referring to following video, starting at 3 min.

Earth's Magnetic Field deflat the Solar Storm.
I would like to know more what is going on between the periods before Solar Storm hits Earth's Magnetic Field and after Solar Storm hits Earth's Magnetic Field?

Does anyone know any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

For that you would need to learn about electromagnetism and how electric and magnetic fields affect charged particles. There are plenty of books about it, and a great many online articles if you search for electromagnetism and go from there. However the details are fairly math heavy, and while you don't absolutely need to learn the math to understand, it does help.

Referring to following images, as we learn about electromagnetism on how electric and magnetic fields affect charged particles.
I would like to know what objects should be observed to measure how Sun's spot affects on Earth? Solar Flare, Solar Wind, Solar Storm ... which one is more important?

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks you very much for any suggestions

1. What is the temperature inside the Sun?

The temperature in the core of the Sun can reach up to 15 million Kelvin, while the surface temperature is around 5,500 Kelvin.

2. How does energy from the Sun travel to Earth?

The energy from the Sun travels to Earth through electromagnetic radiation, specifically in the form of visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet radiation.

3. What causes the Earth's magnetic field?

The Earth's magnetic field is caused by the movement of molten iron in the outer core of the planet. This creates a dynamo effect, generating a magnetic field that extends into space.

4. How does the Sun's activity affect Earth?

The Sun's activity, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, can impact Earth's magnetic field and cause disruptions in our communication and power systems. It can also affect the Earth's climate and weather patterns.

5. What is the aurora and how is it formed?

The aurora, also known as the Northern and Southern Lights, is a natural light display in the sky caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with the Earth's upper atmosphere. These particles are funneled towards the poles by the Earth's magnetic field, resulting in the stunning light show.
