Solar Max and the Solar System
The solar wind has a negligible effect on the movements of
solar system planets, but it can have other profound effects
in their immediate vicinity. The Earth's magnetic field protects
our atmosphere, our water supply, and us,
its inhabitants, from the searing affect
of the solar wind's ionized gases, but a Solar Max has some
negative effects
on our magnetosphere. We will also
look at what we know about the magnetospheres of other solar
planets
and the possible affects of a Solar Max on their atmospheres.
