L'activité solaire est faite du cycle de 11 ans, auquel s’ajoutent de nombreuses variations rapides, telles les éruptions solaires. Au cours d’une éruption, un flux très intense de particules est émis en très peu de temps. Lorsqu'il atteint la Terre, il produit de belles aurores, et perturbe les communications radioélectriques. Ces particules constituent le rayonnement cosmique solaire. 1, record 2, French, - rayonnement%20cosmique%20solaire
