Sun Spots, Solar Cycles, Flares

Scientific paper

Understanding the solar activity is a fundamental problem which has essentially led to create modern solar physics. The Sun's magnetic field and differential rotation give rise to much complexity, in particular, to solar activity over a large range in both spatial and temporal scales. Explosive transient events occur in the solar atmosphere in shorter time-scales of minutes to hours, such as, solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). At the longer scales, the most notable is the solar activity cycle of 11 years, or magnetic cycle of 22 years. Understanding of the solar activity is important as it affects the space weather, i.e., the interplanetary medium and geo-magnetic environment. We present an account of the recent developments in our understanding of these phenomena, using both space-borne and ground-based observations.
