Space weather, from the sun to the earth, the key role of GNSS: Part I: Space weather and its effects

International audienceThe goal of this paper is to give a clear view of the Sun Earth relationships that are complex. The phenomena acting at large scales and essentially related to dynamic and electromagnetic physical processes have been addressed. Besides physics, the work done to develop the training in Space Weather by focusing on Global Navigation Satellite Systems has also been presented. We present this paper as a series in two parts. In this issue the focus is on physics of the relationships Sun, Earth and Meteorology of Space. In March issue, GNSS training and capacity building would be discusse
