Abstract
The term “solar‐terrestrial relations” (or “solar‐terrestrial physics”) has, in recent years, assumed a wide range of meanings. In its broadest interpretation it encompasses the full gamut of space plasma physics (or solar system space physics); in particular, it encompasses the interaction of solar system plasmas with all the planets and their atmospheres, not just the earth and its atmosphere. In its narrowest interpretation it refers to the series of links through which solar activity influences the earth's magnetosphere, upper atmosphere, and troposphere. The term “space plasma physics” refers explicitly to the former, broader topic, i.e., the physics of solar system plasmas and magnetic fields, their myriad manifestations, and their interactions with solar system bodies and their atmospheres.
