😉 Greetings to curious readers! In this article, you will learn interesting facts about the Sun, about its influence on humans, the Earth’s ecosystem and outer space in general. The Sun is the only star in the solar system and one of the stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Fun Facts: Sun
Sunlight is as important to life on our planet as water and air. It is thanks to the Sun that the optimum temperature for life is maintained on Earth. However, recent scientific studies show that the sun affects people much more than previously thought.
Solar storms and man
A group of scientists has been tracking outbreaks of depression and aggression of mankind for quite a long time. Their time has been proven to coincide with solar storms.
When the Luminary behaves calmly, harmony reigns in the soul of most people. The number of suicides at this time is sharply reduced. And when very strong solar flares occur, the number of murders, robberies and interstate conflicts increases in the world.
In fact, solar storms are the result of the action of the luminary’s magnetic field. Flares are, in fact, areas of strong magnetization.
Indian scientists from the Institute of Natural Sciences have determined that the sequence of days when the Luminary behaves relatively calmly is a direct correlation of the speed of displacement of plasma flows from north to south.
Modeling of magnetic fluxes has shown that most often the Sun exhibits bipolar activity. On one side of the crown, a minimum phase was recorded, and on the other, a relatively restless one.
The law of the 11-year cycle was also derived. The law stipulates that solar flares repeat themselves within 11 years with precision in frequency, power and location. Thus, the occurrence of magnetic storms can be determined.
Fantastic theories
The Northern Lights are a prime example of solar activity. However, it can become not only a beautiful phenomenon, but also a potential danger to navigation systems and other modern infrastructure. Currently, there are many fantastic theories related to the Sun.
For example, some scientists who took pictures of the luminary with modern telescopes saw that the streams of fire resemble millions of suffering faces. And then a hypothesis was put forward that the Sun is the very hell where sinners who have gone from the righteous path fall.
However, there is no evidence other than the excessive imagination of scientists. Now this statement is considered a joke in the scientific world. A particularly important issue for scientists is the behavior of the Sun in the future.
Someone believes that it will expand, and over time will absorb the nearest planets – Mercury, Venus and Earth. However, this theory contradicts the hypothesis that there used to be life on Mars, and it disappeared due to the fact that the Sun was gradually cooling down.
Thus, Mars became so cold that none of the known life forms could exist on it. This hypothesis does not already have many supporters, but there are more than enough skeptics.
After all, the only evidence that there has ever been life on Mars is the depressions. They could be riverbeds or lakes. According to the generally accepted model, it is now believed that helium on the Sun will burn out, and it will gradually turn into a “white dwarf”.
However, there is still no evidence for this model either. Perhaps in the future there will be more perfect, and most importantly scientifically substantiated theories.
