Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: (B) An AI model to forecast solar activity
- The Surya Heliophysics Foundation Model is an artificial intelligence (AI) model developed to study and forecast solar activity and space weather phenomena. It represents an application of advanced machine learning techniques to heliophysics – the study of the Sun and its effects on the solar system.
- This AI model analyzes solar data to predict solar events such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and other solar activities that can impact Earth’s magnetic field, satellites, communication systems, and power grids. Such forecasting capabilities are crucial for space weather prediction and protecting technological infrastructure.
