The impact of solar activity on climate and weather patterns
Author(s): Ahmed Al- Zahrani
Abstract: Solar activity, characterized by phenomena such as sunspots, solar flares, and variations in solar irradiance, has a significant impact on Earth's climate and weather patterns. This review examines the mechanisms through which solar activity influences climate and weather, synthesizes findings from recent studies, and compares historical and contemporary research. We explore the direct and indirect effects of solar irradiance and ultraviolet radiation on global temperatures, atmospheric circulation, and regional climate patterns. Our analysis highlights the importance of incorporating solar variability into climate models to improve the accuracy of long-term climate predictions and weather forecasts. Understanding these influences is crucial for developing effective climate adaptation and mitigation strategies.
