Abstract
We now have examined some elements of the Sun’s output and behavior, as well as its variability (Fig. 6.1). These are merely a taste of the immensely complex and tangled interactions of what makes up the mechanics of entire Solar System. More significant are possibilities some researchers have raised that this mighty machine may directly and indirectly affect the Sun’s output and Earth’s climate in ways that are usually not considered, or presently possible to factor into projections.
