        "text": "The Sun is a normal star, but being the centre of our solar system, it provides the Earth with the energy needed to support life. Without its life-giving rays, the Earth would be a bleak and inhospitable place.\\n\\nThe Sun is also a restless star. It shows a wide variety of transient or active phenomena, such as dark sunspots, the continuously changing hot corona, energetic flares and immense coronal mass ejections, together with the associated output of energetic radiation and particles. The single quantity that is responsible for the continuing unrest of the Sun is its tangled and dynamic magnetic field. It produces these and many more fascinating phenomena, including the changes in the Sun's radiative output, which has been invoked as a source of solar influence on the Earth's climate.\\n\\nAfter an introduction to the Sun and its magnetic field, a short history of solar activity will be given and how that relates to the changing climate on Earth. Finally, the question is considered to which extent the Sun is responsible for the global warming seen in the last century.",
