We are depondent on the Sun, Without
it, we would be lost. But it did not cause our attendance,
Here is what New Scientist
tells about the Sun:
“Down here on
Earth, we enjoy the benefits of energy and light from the sun. We couldn’t live without it. But we are also exposed to a constant barrage of solar wind,
charged particles coming from our star. Most of the time, these only make
themselves known in colourful displays of aurorae..”
But at times, the Sun sends out materials that are
dangerous, as New Scientist says; “A big solar storm could fry
the internet, but at least space weather forecasts would give us a day or two
to prepare. Or maybe not, because physicists have just discovered a new kind of
solar storm that strikes without notice.”
