Abstract
This talk focuses on the effect the Sun can have on our everyday life on Earth. The Sun is ultimately where all energy on Earth comes from - without it, we would not exist. But the Sun can potentially have a negative impact on our life as well. Solar storms can effect space weather and cause harmful effects on the Earth's surface, such as destroying electrical power grids.
