The Sun plays a pivotal role in shaping Earth's climate, influencing everything from daily weather variations to long-term climatic shifts. Solar phenomena, particularly coronal mass ejections (CMEs), can have profound effects on Earth's atmosphere. These powerful bursts of solar wind and magnetic fields can disrupt the delicate balance of our planet's weather systems, leading to phenomena such as geomagnetic storms that may affect communication systems, satellite operations, and even power grids.
