Abstract
SOHO satellite data reveals geophysical changes before sudden changes in the Earth's Sun-Earth environment. The influence of extragalactic changes on the Sun as well as the Sun-Earth environment seems to be both periodic and episodic. The periodic changes in terms of solar maxima and minima occur every 11 years, whereas the episodic changes can happen at any time. Episodic changes can be monitored by cosmic ray detectors as a sudden increase or decrease of activity. During these solar and cosmic anomaly periods the environment of the Earth is affected. The Star-Sun-Earth connection has the potential to influence the thermosphere, atmosphere, ionosphere and lithosphere. Initial correlation of the cosmic and Sun-Earth connection has shown the possibility of predicting earthquakes, sudden changes in atmospheric temperatures and erratic rainfall/snowfall patterns.
Highlights
Since the early days of human civilization we have looked at the sky and tried to understand the environment of the Earth and the Universe [1, 2, 3, 4, and 5]
Ionosphere currents are produced by geomagnetic storms originating from the Star-Sun-Earth environment
Star flares during low Planetary Indices (Kp) and low Electron flux (E-flux) periods of the Sun-Earth environment might result in further lowering the magnetic field as well as electron flux through the repulsion of magnetic field in the Sun-Earth environment by star flares and/or other cosmic factors
Summary
Since the early days of human civilization we have looked at the sky and tried to understand the environment of the Earth and the Universe [1, 2, 3, 4, and 5]. February 2005 hailstorms and snowstorms were reported in the Northern Hemisphere, while in the Tropics a sudden drop in temperature led to foggy and smoggy conditions This temperature variation was different in different parts of the Earth, as the effects of solar flares are dependent on the geomagnetic co-ordinate of Earth and its respective position with regards to the stars. If the electron flux from the sun is low, with the subsequent rise in cosmic rays simultaneously anomalous snowfall and lowering of the atmospheric temperature has been observed. Based on the same hypothesis it was found that an abnormal rise and sudden fall in E-flux, Kp index and atmospheric temperature has the possibility of triggering earthquakes in active fault areas of the Earth due to temporary changes in the magnetic field of the Earth. The whole process was expressed as a precursor of earthquakes in active fault areas
