Solar flares can reshape exoplanet atmospheres within days, affecting temperature, winds, and potential habitability.

Clouds play an important role in regulating the climate. Bright ones at low altitudes generally reflect solar energy away, ...

The Earth's atmosphere is far more reactive to solar activity than scientists previously believed, with the new research showing it can pulse in near-synchronicity with the sun's powerful flares.

What is driving the solar wind? Some particles in the Sun’s atmosphere gain enough speed to escape the Sun’s gravitational pull and bombard the worlds of the Solar System, but the processes behind the ...
