Our Solar System the brightest star of Sun Looks very active this year. It is at the peak of its solar cycle. last week three solar flares As well as generated 18 coronal mass injections and 1 geomagnetic storm. But it won’t always be like this. Many times it also happens that all the spots on the surface of our Sun completely disappear, then our Solar System This star of it seems to be sleeping.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) have uncovered what happens when activity on the Sun ends, how a star gains energy back to explode itself, and how. After the explosion, the dangerous flames of the star cause damage beyond its solar system.

An article about this research has appeared in the Monthly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society. In this research it has been told that even though the star is sleeping, there is constant movement in its polar locations and within the star. Researchers have discovered that the Sun’s internal dynamo mechanism, which maintains the cycle of our solar system, barely works during the star’s quiet period.

When does the sun sleep?
