Large-Scale Magnetic Field Structure at the Earth's Orbit, Its Correlation with Solar Activity and Orientation and Motion of the Solar System in the Galaxy

Interplanetary magnetic field data from the different satellites obtained during the period 1963–1973 at 1 A.U. and compiled by J. King have been analysed in heliocentric ecliptic coordinates. The peculiarities of the background interplanetary magnetic field (BIMF) are discussed in relation to the orientation of the solar system in the Galaxy and the variable helioefficiency of the planets. The results of the direct cosmic experiments are evidence of the solar activity being a complex phenomenon of the solar system as a whole.
