Astronomical
My fascinations with climatology and cosmology began several years ago. I’m one of millions of science-friendly Earthlings interested in solar effects that may create oceanic, seismic, and volcanic events on our Earth Home.
This page was added once NASA confirmed intense solar flares and winds throughout the Sun’s current cycle 24; the apex is forecasted for years 2011-2012. See NASA’s report dated December 21, 2006.
The ezine, Staying Awake, occasionally refers to the Sun as the physical sciences reveal more about our Sun and Universe.

Brian A. Tinsley, Ph.D., researches the centuries old question of the effects of changes in the sun on day-to-day weather, year-to-year climate changes, and global warming on the century time scale. Tinsley is Faculty Professor in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Department of Physics, University of Texas, Dallas. Read more.

Solar flares affect Earth’s geomagnetic field (our planet’s cocoon), and this real time monitor shows how unsettled the cocoon is.
The Sun is 4.5 billion years old, and its bond with Earth doesn’t work alone—the Sun is dependent on cyclic energy waves. Pretend a dimmer switch controls those waves of energy which the Sun then shares by rotating and radiating its nurturing light for the nature of Earth.

The moon’s gravitational pull upon the Earth creates our tides. The word tides is generic, and defines rises and falls of seas in relation to land.
Lunar gravity pulls everything on Earth closer to the moon while Earth’s gravity pulls everything on Earth to its center except water. So the moon pulls at the water, and that creates tides on Earth.
