Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation that form in areas where loops of magnetic field curl through the solar atmosphere.

The Sun’s magnetic field plays a crucial role in protecting Earth from harmful cosmic radiation, but recent data suggests it may be weakening. What does this mean for our planet? Could it lead ...

But “for the part of the spectrum in between static electric and magnetic fields and infrared radiation, the generic term ‘electromagnetic fields’ is common,” it explains. That’s quite a ...

Those explosions of radiation make up what is called “space weather.” And it can be just as disruptive as terrestrial weather, though maybe not as frequently as the headlines warn.

This field, also known as the magnetosphere, is responsible for deflecting charged particles which make up cosmic radiation. Earth's magnetosphere helps to shield Earth from harmful space weather.

Electricity is a regular part of life these days. Most people who grew up in the U.S. don’t know what it’s like to live without a readily available energy source in their home.
