What Causes <strong>Weather</strong><br />
of Earth to the Sun, that correlates with widespread cyclonic<br />
weather on Earth. It might be that these two huge<br />
planets at that time are having the same effect on the Sun<br />
that a Full <strong>Moon</strong> does on us. One could imagine that their<br />
combined gravitation could be pulling increased electrical<br />
activity from the Sun towards themselves, bringing it across<br />
Earth on the way. <strong>The</strong> effect would be more on the Sun than<br />
on Earth, but the magnetosphere, or Solar wind of electrical<br />
particles streaming from the Sun out into space, could<br />
affect our electrical fields. We are but 8 minutes into the<br />
solar year in terms of distance from the sun, and<br />
therefore getting almost the full brunt of the solar wind of<br />
electrical particles creaming over our planet. As more of<br />
the magnetic fields of the solar wind are concentrated by<br />
the close proximity of several planets, multiple crossings<br />
of them increase the magnetic effects felt in the weather<br />
systems. <strong>The</strong> Lunar declination cycle of 27.32 days just<br />
happens to be locked in phase with the 27.32 day magnetic<br />
rotation cycle of the Sun, because that is the way the Earth/<br />
<strong>Moon</strong> system conserves it’s angular momentum, and still<br />
responds to the magnetic flux changes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> results arrived at by planet observers may still be<br />
lunar-based. <strong>The</strong> average sunspot activity cycle of 11 years<br />
coincides with the orbit of Jupiter. Sunspot activity is<br />
caused by the proximity of Jupiter to the sun. Jupiter is<br />
almost 318 times the size of earth – which means that if<br />
Earth was a peppercorn, Jupiter would be a grapefruit. Saturn<br />
is about 95 times as large as Earth. Given these sizes,<br />
it is further likely that they have an effect on each other<br />
