Sunspots play a major role in our climate. ... Every year in December a helium-rich breeze from the stars hits Earth for a few weeks. It cannot penetrate to the surface and has little if any affect on the Earth but it does prove that we are constantly being hit by gases, protons and random cosmic rays from else where in...

The Sun provides all the Earth's energy. Its light provides energy for photosynthesis in plants and algae, the basis for the food chain, which ultimately feeds all life on earth. However some solar phenomena, including sunspots, can affect Earth and humans in other, less benign ways.
