Scientific paper
The development of scientific knowledge of the sun is reviewed from Emden's first theoretical solar model (early 19th century) to the latest Skylab observations. Concepts dealt with include the solar wind, solar activity, energetic processes, thermonuclear generation of energy, and solar neutrinos. The carbon-nitrogen cycle and the proton-proton chain are outlined, and attempts at neutrino detection are discussed. Magnetohydrodynamic activity on the sun is described together with the nature and behavior of sunspots. Possible effects of sunspot activity on terrestrial weather are considered.
