Venus, Earth, and Jupiter Collaborate to Mitigate Solar Storms
A study suggests that gravitational tidal forces from Venus, Earth, and Jupiter may help keep the sun calmer than other stars, potentially reducing the risk of extreme solar storms that could disrupt Earth's technology. These forces influence the sun's magnetic activity in a cyclical manner, possibly explaining why our sun's eruptions are milder compared to similar stars, which may have contributed to Earth's habitability.
