Solar Maximum 2024

October 26 , 2024 3 days 41 0
  • The Sun has now entered its "solar maximum period" in the current solar cycle.
  • The solar maximum is a phase characterised by a significant rise in sunspots and solar phenomena.
  • The solar cycle represents the natural fluctuation of the Sun as it moves between periods of low and high activity.
  • Approximately every 11 years, at the peak of this cycle, the Sun’s magnetic poles flip—similar to the North and South Poles on Earth swapping positions every decade.
  • In the solar maximum phase, the Sun is capable of producing massive explosions of light, energy, and solar radiation.
  • The solar emissions interact with Earth's magnetic field, resulting in geomagnetic storms.
