The Connection Between Aditya L1 and Geomagnetic Storms
The Connection Between Aditya L1 and Geomagnetic Storms
The relationship between the Earth, the Sun, and the Aditya L1 spacecraft can be understood by looking at how the Earth moves around the Sun and spins on its own axis. Similarly, the Sun also spins on its axis. The Aditya L1 spacecraft has an angular speed that matches the Earth’s rotation. When Aditya L1 is in its halo orbit, it appears to stay in the same spot when viewed from Earth. Just like the Earth, Aditya L1 will take 365 days to complete one full orbit around the Sun.
