Long term variations of the solar corona, including observations of the morphology, the brightness, and the rotation characteristics are described. Cyclic changes in the electron corona are interpreted as reflecting changes in the large scale magnetic field over the cycle. The ability to link the coronal magnetic structure and the organization of solar wind speed is extended to develop expectations about the variation of properties of the interplanetary medium (IPM) with the solar cycle. The gross features of the velocity structure are present, and the IPM appears to rotate with a character similar to that of the corona. However, the relationship of the magnetic field in interplanetary space to that in the corona is obscure. The short time scale phenomena which comprise the active component of the corona and interplanetary medium only vary in as much as the global organization of the coronal and interplanetary field varies, so rather than showing a variation in properties as individuals, the active features of the corona and IPM change only in their distribution.
