Description

Solar Max Solar maximum or solar max is a normal period of greatest solar activity in the 11 year solar cycle of the Sun. During solar maximum, large numbers of sunspots appear and the sun's irradiance output grows by about 0.07%. The increased energy output of solar maxima can impact Earth's global climate and recent studies have shown some correlation with regional weather patterns. At solar maximum, the Sun's magnetic field lines are the most distorted due to the magnetic field on the solar equator rotating at a slightly faster pace than at the solar poles.[citation needed] The solar cycle takes an average of about 11 years to go from one solar maximum to the next, with duration observed varying from 9 to 14 years. Large solar flares often occur during a maximum. For example, the solar storm of 1859 struck the Earth with such intensity that the northern lights could be seen as far south as Rome, approximately 42° north of the equator. watch this video I looked to create my image with bryce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X1VhpcrJVU _______________________________________ Maximum Solaire Vue de la Terre, l'influence du Soleil varie principalement selon une période journalière et annuelle. Dans l'absolu, l'activité solaire est réglée par un cycle d'une période moyenne de 11,2 ans - d'un maximum au suivant - mais la durée peut varier entre 8 et 15 ans. L'amplitude des maxima peut varier du simple au triple. Le cycle de 11 ans a été déterminé pour la première fois par l'astronome amateur allemand Heinrich Schwabe vers 1843. En 1849, l'astronome suisse Johann Rudolf Wolf (1816-1893) établit une méthode de calcul de l'activité solaire basée sur le nombre de taches. Les cycles de Schwabe sont numérotés à partir du maximum de 1761. (Mon image) représentation de ceci: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X1VhpcrJVU

Magik, ce est une image scientifique fabuleux. Merci de me avoir appris ce qu'est un (Solar Max) est. Je aime quand vous créez des présentations éducatives.
