The conditions in space that can affect technological systems and infrastructure on Earth, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and geomagnetic storms.

"Space weather is a branch of space physics and aeronomy, or heliophysics, concerned with the time varying conditions within the Solar System, including the solar wind, emphasizing the space surrounding the Earth, including conditions in the magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere."
"Space weather is distinct from, but conceptually related to, the terrestrial weather of the atmosphere of Earth (troposphere and stratosphere)."
"The term 'space weather' was first used in the 1950s and came into common usage in the 1990s."

"The term 'space weather' was first used in the 1950s and came into common usage in the 1990s. Later, it was generalized to a 'space climate' research discipline."
