The
Sun Affects The Earth More Than You Might
Realize
What
happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But what
happens on the sun doesn’t stay on the sun. As
I pointed out last year: It is known that
intense solar activity can destroy ozone in
the Earth’s atmosphere, thus affecting
climactic temperatures. Indeed, the effects of
solar energy on ozone may be one of the main
ways in which the sun influences Earth’s
climate. The sun itself also affects the
Earth more than previously understood. For
example, according to the European Space
Agency: "Scientists … have proven
that sounds generated deep inside the Sun
cause the Earth to shake and vibrate in
sympathy. They have found that Earth’s
magnetic field, atmosphere and terrestrial
systems, all take part in this cosmic
sing-along." And NASA has just discovered
that “space weather” causes
“spacequakes” on Earth: "Researchers
using NASA’s fleet of five THEMIS spacecraft
have discovered a form of space weather that
packs the punch of an earthquake and plays a
key role in sparking bright Northern Lights.
They call it “the spacequake.” A
spacequake is a temblor in Earth’s magnetic
field. It is felt most strongly in Earth
orbit, but is not exclusive to space. The
effects can reach all the way down to the
surface of Earth itself..."
