Effect of solar and interplanetary disturbances on space weather

The environment of interplanetary medium near earth is dominated by the disturbances originating directly from the solar and interplanetary medium, such as solar flares, X-rays flares, coronal holes, CMEs and interplanetary magnetic field. Space-weather is significantly controlled by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which can affect the earth in different ways. Moreover, the influence of solar phenomenon and associated interplanetary disturbances provide a unique opportunity to understand the correlation between solar, interplanetary and geomagnetic activity. The study of solar, interplanetary and geomagnetic parameters make possible to know the disturbances and impact on space weather interaction in the interplanetary magnetic field. In the present paper, we have analyzed the effect of solar and interplanetary plasma and field in relation to geomagnetic activity. The driving forces which are responsible to create disturbances in the space-weather have been investigated.
