Answer to Question 1

Evidence suggests that there is a link between solar activity and the amount of solar energy Earth receives. Solar activity can affect Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. Solar flares release energy as short-wavelength photons plus high-energy protons and electrons. X-ray and UV photons reach Earth and increase ionization in our upper atmosphere, which can interfere with radio communications. Particles from flares reach Earth as gusts in the solar wind, which can distort Earth's magnetic field and disrupt navigation systems. Solar flares can also cause surges in electrical power lines and damage Earth satellites. The solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field and create aurorae.

Answer to Question 2
