Solar Wind

The video explains how extreme solar activity affects Earth, particularly through charged particles that can disrupt satellites and technology. The Earth's magnetic field offers protection, but at the poles, auroras occur due to solar wind interactions. Various satellites, including the cluster mission, monitor solar activity to provide a three-dimensional view of solar wind patterns. These observations help understand the impact on Earth's magnetic field and modern technologies.

Describe the purpose of the cluster mission and its satellites.

What instruments are equipped on the cluster satellites to measure solar activity?
