The 11-year solar sunspot cycle
So do reverse polarity CME’s influence the reversals of the earth’s magnetic field?
We are way overdue.
The sun’s polarity field flips every 11 years.
Does the current alignment of the earth’s core magnetic axis and the geograpgic axis decrease oyr magnetic field enough that we suddenly become vulnerable? This only happens about every 2,000 years.
Sunspots happen most when the dipolar magnetic field of the sun is weakest.
This happens at the midpoint of solar polarity reversal evrry 11 years.
A reverse polarity to the earth’s field is every 22 years.
