Abstract

Stars are large scale magnetized plasma structures originating from closed magnetic field regions on the sun and are the most energetic solar events in which vast amount of solar plasma materials are expelled from the solar corona into interplanetary space. Geomagnetic storms in a major component of space weather and provide the impact for many other components of space weather. In present study, correlation between sunspot number to classified Geomagnetic storms are 0.75 for SSN to moderate 0.35 for SSN to super and 0.81 for SSN to intense GMS. So we have concluded that good correlation between SSN and intense GMS but general correlation between SSN and super GMS.
