Venus, Earth and Jupiter's tidal forces influence the solar magnetic field.
On 6/3/19 at 6:31 AM EDTThe sun's 11-year solar cycle is governed by the alignment of the planets, with Venus, Earth and Jupiter's tidal forces influencing the solar magnetic field, scientists have found. The discovery helps explain why the sun operates on such a regular cycle—something researchers had previously struggled to account for.
, researchers from the independent German research institute Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf say they have found evidence showing the role the planets play in the solar cycle. The researchers compared observations of solar activity over the last 1,000 years with the planetary alignment—and found the two are indeed linked."There is an astonishingly high level of concordance," Frank Stefani, lead author of the study, said in a statement."What we see is complete parallelism with the planets over the course of 90 cycles. Everything points to a clocked process.
They now plan to see if other weak forces could be playing a role in the solar dynamo. By having a better understanding of what drives activity on the sun, researchers would be able to improve space weather predictions and potentially even climate-related changes on Earth—an extended period of weak solar activity in the 17th century is believed to have contributed to a mini ice age in Europe.
