The complexity of the solar magnetic field leads to a roughly 11-year solar cycle, characterized by periods of high and low solar activity. During solar maximum, sunspot numbers are high, and solar flares and coronal mass ejections are more frequent. During solar minimum, sunspot numbers are low, and activity is subdued. The magnetic field undergoes a complete reversal at the end of each solar cycle, with the north and south magnetic poles swapping places. This cycle is not entirely regular, and variations in its length and intensity can occur. Predicting the behavior of the solar cycle remains a major challenge for solar physicists. Accurate predictions are vital for mitigating the risks associated with space weather events.
