Influence of Sun and Other Cosmic Factors on Environment of the Earth

Abstract

Influence of Sun and other cosmic factors on the environment of the Earth is a new concept in Sun-Earth connection studies. Space weather phenomena affecting environment of the Earth including aircraft and spacecraft communication will be studied. During the coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun the impact on the Calactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) will be observed. The particle detector is vital for measuring the modulation effects the Sun poses on the ambient population of the Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR). The known agents of these modulation effects are Solar Flares (SF), Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) and Interplanetary CMEs (ISME).
