The Entire Solar System is Changing
Published: September 7, 2023
Excerpt:
The activity of the Sun has drastically decreased, causing concern among solar scientists. The previous solar cycle, Cycle 24, from December 2008 to December 2019, was the weakest in a century. The Sun is currently in the active phase of weak Cycle 25, so we can expect more precipitation and colder temperatures in the coming less active years.
A small number of sunspots indicate that the Sun’s magnetic activity is low, as is the number of charged particles it emits, known as the solar wind. The solar wind primarily consists of electrons and protons and reaches much farther than Earth, affecting all the planets in our solar system.
Therefore, the solar wind fills the space within the solar system and is a major component of the “interplanetary medium.” The region dominated by the solar wind is called the heliosphere and typically extends well beyond Pluto’s orbit. As the solar wind decreases, the heliosphere contracts. This means that the planets farthest from the Sun are affected first and most, although the effects may differ from those on Earth due to different conditions on each planet.

It is interesting but there is no evidence presented to support the article, I posted it because it is a topic where little mention of the Suns effect on the Solar System is ever discussed thus a neglected area that needs more attention.
