The source of the sun' s inconstancy is magnetism. Professor William Livingston has developed new theories about its magnetic nature.
"We don' t yet know what causes sun spots, "he says, "but we now think they ' re areas of high level magnetism that come up from the sun' s interior. So strong is their magnetic pull that the highly ionized gas nearby is not able to transmit energy out. "As a result these areas send out less heat and light and thus appear from Earth to be almost dark irregular surface patches.
Sun spot activity generally fluctuates in steady, 11-year cycled. Scientists have long formed the o pinion that as the size and number of sun spots increased, the overall energy sent out by the sun would de crease. Indeed, recent studies confirmed it, revealing that during peak periods of sun spot activity, the Earth experiences a small drop that can be seen clearly in received solar energy.
Could such a small drop in energy have an effect here on earth? Perhaps some scientists think the world temperature could fall by' as much as 0.2 during periods of high solar magnetism.., enough to cause significant fluctuations in weather patterns.

A.moves in a quick but steady way year after year

lt wasn 't that I relied on them for _ 27__reasons,or to keep my life in order, or to ease the chaosof the home. These days,1 rely on them for their company.
Ⅰ missed coming home and talking about my day at work,and I missed being able to read their facesand sense how their day was. I missed having unique_ 28_into tiny details that make a life.
While the conversation about young adults staying longer at home is_ 29_by talk of laziness, ofdependence,of an inability for young people to pull themselves together,_ 30 do we talk of theway,in my case at least,my relationship with my parents has_ 31 strengthened the longer we havelived together.
Over the years the power dynamic has changed and is no longer defined by one being the giver andanother,the taker. So,what does this say for our relationships within the family home?
According to psychologist Sabina Read,there are“some very positive possible_ 32_when adultchildren share the family home", noting the"parent-child relationship may indeed strengthen and mature”in the process.
But,she notes, a strong_ 33_doesn 't simply come with time."The many changing factors of therelationship need to be acknowledged,rather than hoping that the mere passage of time will _ 34connect parents to their adult children. It's important to acknowledge that the relationship parametershave changed to avoid falling back into __35_from the teen years.”
