The solar cycle is a phenomenon that occurs through the course of eleven years and is characterised by its rhythmic fluctuation in the numbers and sizes of cooler, dark patches on the sun called sunspots. The question that is tackled in this paper regards the extent to which solar processes - specifically solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), geomagnetic storms and total solar irradiance (TSI) - have an impact on earth's climate. In this paper, we compare historic periods of high and low sun activity to the climate on earth during the same period; data about solar activity from the Maunder Minimum, Dalton Minimum and the Modern Maximum is compared to weather data on earth, keeping the time period contant. We conclude that there is evidence for solar influence on climate, however only to a limited extent; the current scientific consensus on climate change is that solar variations only play a marginal role in driving global climate change, which is supported with climate and solar data as well as IPCC’s consensus that ‘long and short-term variations in solar activity play only a very small role in Earth's climate.’ Analysis of these events are crucial in exhibiting the influence of solar happenings on Earth weather, in addition to improving predictions of astronomical weather to prepare for potentially adverse effects it can have on important modern technology including satellites and radio communications. The study further aids in differentiating between natural climate fluctuations from anthropogenic changes illuminating a clear extent to which solar processes influence earth.
