Paging M.Mozina and any other solar specialists

[nimbus]

Are&nbsp;solar wind intensity and&nbsp;sunspots&nbsp;entirely&nbsp;distinct, are their causes completely independent of one another? &nbsp;Is it accurate to say that sunspot activity and solar cosmic particles&nbsp;reception&nbsp;here&nbsp;on&nbsp;Earth are&nbsp;totaly uncorelated? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
