When viewed from "above" (from a vantage point above the Sun's north pole, i.e., directly above its axis of rotation), these 90° fixed beams form a cross on the Sun's equatorial plane. eruptions, in the decades immediately ahead. Correlation with similar low-torque periods in the palaeoclimatic record indicates the likely development by 2030 of cool conditions, such as in the Maunder Minimum of the Little Ice Age. People starved then. The work described above dealt primarily with momentum effects and their outcome. But there are also other planetary influences on the Sun and the Earth of a dominantly electromagnetic nature. While these, too, involve the outer giants, they also confer a vital role on the small inner planets which orbit the Sun directly (moving outward, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars). These effects are described below. a When will it rain? The work described above dealt primarily with momentum Like all Australian farmers, I had a question uppermost in my effects and their outcome. But there are also other planetary mind: when is it going to rain? The conclusions of my 26 yearsof influences on the Sun and the Earth of a dominantly research and analysis were tested on Australia's Gold Coast, where electromagnetic nature.

But I was planets with respect to a circle at the encouraged, and this paper is the result. plane on which the planets orbit (the ecliptic) and centred on the Sun. When two planets occupy relative angular positions on the orbital plane, yielding separations such as 0°, 30°, 60°, 72°, 90°, 120° and 180° (divisible into the 360° whole), resonance is the result. Second is the Solar Electromagnetic Resonant Cross (SER-X), where any planet arriving at a solar azimuth of 75°, 165°, 255° and 345° (forming the arms of across) causes enhanced resonance. SER-X alignments have an impact on sunspot abundance and also are likely to draw a detectable response from Earth. 2. METHODOLOGY Landscheidt paper On the galactic scale, our solar system is a ball of magnetised plasma, now crossing the Sagittarius—Carina arm of the Milky Way. The solar wind keeps this ball (heliosphere) inflated, and hence affords an inhabited planet a modicum of protection from galactic influences. But inside the heliosphere, there are complex inertial and electromagnetic relationships which affect the Sun and all the planets. Image 1.

That groundbreaking paper helps facilitates the release of energy from the Sun, as evidenced (albeit, perhaps, explain the variability of the solar wind, counter-intuitively) by decreasing and hence the degree to which sunspot prevalence at that precise time. ombarding cosmic rays can enter our atmosphere. The Sun and Other contributing factors also relate to planetary orbits.

A planet's influence momentum is held by these giants, and their collective orbital is also likely to be greater when closest to the Sun (perihelion) and rogress applies a variable torque to the Sun, thus driving its longer-lasting when farthest away (aphelion). irregular orbit.
