Difference between Solar cycle and Solar maximum

Solar cycle vs. Solar maximum

The solar cycle or solar magnetic activity cycle is the nearly periodic 11-year change in the Sun's activity (including changes in the levels of solar radiation and ejection of solar material) and appearance (changes in the number and size of sunspots, flares, and other manifestations). Solar maximum or solar max is a regular period of greatest Sun activity during the 11-year solar cycle.

Similarities between Solar cycle and Solar maximum

Solar cycle and Solar maximum have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aurora, Dalton Minimum, List of solar cycles, Magnetic field, Maunder Minimum, Modern Maximum, NASA, Nature Geoscience, Solar flare, Solar irradiance, Solar minimum, Solar wind, Spörer Minimum, Sun, Sunspot.

Aurora

An aurora (plural: auroras or aurorae), sometimes referred to as polar lights, northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in the high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic).

Dalton Minimum

The Dalton Minimum was a period of low sunspot count, representing low solar activity, named after the English meteorologist John Dalton, lasting from about 1790 to 1830 or 1796 to 1820, corresponding to the period solar cycle 4 to solar cycle 7.

List of solar cycles

The following is a list of solar cycles (sometimes called sunspot cycles), tracked since 1755 following the original numbering proposed by Rudolf Wolf in the mid-19th centuryKane, R.P. (2002).

Magnetic field

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electrical currents and magnetized materials.

Maunder Minimum

The Maunder Minimum, also known as the "prolonged sunspot minimum", is the name used for the period around 1645 to 1715 during which sunspots became exceedingly rare, as was then noted by solar observers.

Spörer Minimum

The Spörer Minimum is a hypothesized 90-year span of low solar activity, from about 1460 until 1550, which was identified and named by John A. Eddy in a landmark 1976 paper published in Science titled "The Maunder Minimum".

Solar cycle and Solar maximum Comparison

Solar cycle has 124 relations, while Solar maximum has 28. As they have in common 15, the Jaccard index is 9.87% = 15 / (124 + 28).
