Increase in meteors? Planetary climate changes all over solar system?
Anonymous Coward User ID: 904314 Canada 02/18/2013 02:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Increase in meteors? Planetary climate changes all over solar system? But if the solar system encountered the much denser cloud, Frisch estimates that the heliosphere could be compressed to within one or two astronomical units of the Sun, not much greater than the Earth’s distance from the Sun. “There would be dramatic effects on the inner solar system,” said Frisch. “It would immediately change the whole interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar medium.” Researchers have predicted increases in the cosmic-ray flux, changes in the Earth’s magnetosphere, the chemistry of the atmosphere and perhaps even the terrestrial climate.
