Sunspots and solar flares created by the sun’s magnetism can affect the Earth’s surface

Hale’s discovery of solar magnetism about 50 years after the Carrington event, along with records showing that auroras had an 11-year cycle similar to that of the sun, formed the basis of our modern understanding of the 'solar-terrestrial relationship.'

The sun was born when a dense gas cloud collapsed, 4.6 billion years ago

Our solar system today is mainly composed of a central star — the sun — along with an inner solar system with rocky planets, and an outer solar system with gas and ice giant planets. However, it hasn’t always been that way.
