Solar shutdown

The sun is a giant gaseous sphere that shines down on us from high in the sky. SDO Solar rapid shutdown provides us light when we need it in the daytime and warmth when it cold outside. However, not only does the sun help sustain life on the planet. Among these effects, one of them is a solar shutdown. Solar shutdowns occur when the sun turns off for a period of time. That may sound a bit terrifying, but let's unpack that — what does it really mean to take control of the world and have that affect your life 

For decades, scientists have been investigating periods of solar inactivity. They have learned about cycles of the sun Some days, the sun is hyperactive, bursting with solar energy and flares. At other times, it is quiet, that is, it generates less energy. We are currently experiencing a less active phase in the sun's activity cycle. More extreme is the possibility of a solar shutdown, where the sun becomes even quieter. If it were so, the magnetic fields of the sun would come to a stand still and no solar flares or streamers would be detected during such a period.

The impact of a solar shutdown on our plane

Solar shutdown on our planet would be huge after-date. Solar activity is a significant driver of our climate and weather. A solar shutdown for instance could cool the Earth, which in turn could mean a chilling climate. This can also cause difficulty for farm crop producers whose plants rely on specific weather conditions to grow. The sun also affects our power grids, which help get electricity to homes and businesses. In the absence of adequate preparation, a solar shutdown could cascade back into our daily lives in a thousand different ways.
