Approximately every eleven years, our sun experiences a cycle in which its magnetic poles flip. During this cycle, solar flares and sunspot activity increase, and then the sun returns to a state of relative calm.  These solar cycles have been tracked for over two hundred years and are among the best-recorded aspects of solar astronomy. These extremes, known as the solar maximum and solar minimum, affect the sun and can have implications for the Earth.  Learn more about the solar cycle and the ebbing and flowing of the sun on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
