Heliophysics is one of the disciplines of physics specifically introduced by remarkable physicist Eugene Parker to study the Sun and its influence across the solar system. The Sun is a high-powered star in the centre of our solar system, Its humongous gravitational pull binds all the planets, comets, and asteroids in their orbits. The Sun acts as a unique and powerful natural test center for physics, where the immense conditions of temperature, density, and magnetic fields allow scientists to study processes like nuclear fusion and plasma dynamics which are impossible to replicate on Earth. The light and energy produced by the Sun are directly connected to human life and technology. Solar radiation is the greatest source of solar energy which is a power house of renewable sources and sustainable energy. Furthermore, the variation of solar output is deeply affected by Earth’s climate, as it balances the energy that controls the temperature and long-term weather patterns. The scientist studies the solar Interior and atmosphere, solar wind and interplanetary space, and space weather. This allows scientists to protect Earth's infrastructure from the solar wind and to understand the elemental stellar physics.
This document on Heliophysics has been prepared by our team member Atufa from Team MacroEdTech.The document also includes an attractive visual representation of the Sun’s structure.
Overall, it’s an impressive educational contribution by Atufa .
