Welcome to Space Weather

Space weather is a branch of space physics and aeronomy, or heliophysics, concerned with the varying conditions within the Solar System and its heliosphere. This includes the effects of the solar wind, especially on the Earth’s magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Though physically distinct, space weather is analogous to the terrestrial weather of Earth’s atmosphere (troposphere and stratosphere). The term “space weather” was first used in the 1950s and popularized in the 1990s. Later, it prompted research into “space climate”, the large-scale and long-term patterns of space weather.
