Magnetic activity on the Sun's surface can create atmospheric events here on Earth, impacting satellites, telecommunications, power grids and other critical technologies.
These patterns of solar activity are known as space weather. Every day, space weather forecasters use technology to monitor and predict how the Sun will behave.
In this activity from the Australian Space Agency and the Bureau of Meteorology, you’ll use your scientific skills to analyse real solar data and explore how space weather impacts life on Earth.
