Sunspots are understood to be bursts of energy resulting from irregular
"flare ups" on the Sun.
Ponder This ....
What affect do these bursts of energy (/electro magnetic pulses) have on the
Earth's atmosphere and surface. For instance :
- Is plant growth enhanced ?
- Is plant growth hindered ?
- Is more water vaporised ?
- Are there any changes to other atmospheric gases ?
- Are polar icecaps melted ?
- Are the effects local, or more global ?
