Heliophysics
Heliophysics is the study of the Sun and its effects on the solar system, including the solar wind, magnetic fields, solar flares, and other phenomena related to the Sun's activity. It encompasses the physical processes occurring in the Sun and the interactions between the Sun and the planets, asteroids, comets, and interstellar medium. Heliophysics also investigates the impact of solar activity on Earth's climate, technology, and space weather.
