Collisionless shocks are an important component of the heliosphere and are ubiquituos in astrophysical environments. Across them the solar wind is heated, deviated and compressed. Collisionless shocks are able to accelerate a fraction of particles to very high energies. In this work we discuss the earth's bow shock region and relate processes occuring at this shock and foreshock to phenomena associated to shocks propagating in the solar wind. Our understanding of the bow shock microphysics can serve as a tool to understand stream interaction and transient shocks structure, their evolution, and the kinetic phenomena that take place in regions associated with these shocks.
