What are the ways the sun affects the earth?

Answer 1

Solar wind contains intense clouds of high energy particles which are produced by solar stroms. These clouds of particles affect Earth. These clouds are called coronal mass ejections. They reach the earth in three to four days.

The coronal mass ejections cause changes in the magnetic field of the earth when they collide with the field. They cause more changes to the magnetic field at times even at lower altitudes close to the ground when they leak through the field especially near the north ans south Poles. These changes can produce many problems with electrical equipment.

Not much light has been thrown on the way in which solar wind" plasma" invades the Earth's magnetic field and seeps into the inner regions where the Van Allen radiation belts are located. Also, in the direction opposite the Sun, the Earth's magnetic field is pulled way out into interplanetary space making it look like a comet. Many different electrical disturbances take place in this "geotail" region. These can accelerate partiles to high speeds and energies. All of this is made much more violent by the solar wind, especially the strom clouds that the Sun launches our way very often.

Answer 2

You could write a thesis on this. It has a massive effect and every human could write a good 10 pages on its effects if they thought about it. I don't know what angle to take this from. I'll start at the real basics and use one example from a possible many of its effects. The effect of the heat energy from our star on our planet allows us and everything on our planet in the biosphere to live. If there was no heat energy enzymes become denatured, this would eventually lead to death. So basically the heat energy from the sun keeps us alive. A more profound effect is that the distribution of heat energy from the sun on our planet creates our weather conditions, it drives our water cycle, it allows water to be present in a liquid state, a solid and a gaseous state. The heat energy from the sun creates wind, its the reason behind nearly all climate related phenomena. Thats a just a brief insight into its effects.

Answer 3

The sun gives us heat, so we do not freeze, it keeps us in orbit so we have this all year round it's solar winds affect earth. For example when it just did a couple of decades ago almost no one could use phones almost no one had electricity.

Answer 4

The sun affects the Earth through processes like providing warmth and light through radiation, driving weather patterns and ocean currents through heating of the atmosphere and surface, and enabling photosynthesis in plants by providing energy for food production. Additionally, the sun's magnetic field and solar activity can influence Earth's magnetic field and climate.

Answer 5

The sun's heat warms the earth. This heat is captured by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, keeping the earth warm enough for life.

Answer 6

It afecta the earth by lighting it up

Answer 7

HEAT!
