The Earth's magnetic fields extend into the space surrounding the Earth. The magnetosphere is formed by the interaction of these fields with the plasma flow from the Sun, i.e., the solar wind. Particles of the solar wind can enter the magnetosphere and produce specific regions of plasma. An enhancement of the input energy to the magnetosphere causes large-scale configuration changes and produces huge releases of energy. As a result, space storms occur, and high-energy particles can be produced through efficient acceleration processes during such storms. In this article, we describe the fundamental physics of the magnetosphere, aiming at a transition to research on space weather forecasting.
