Abstract
Chapter 3 summarized the current understanding of the global structure and basic properties of the heliosphere. Now it is necessary to consider in more detail its internal structure, the main physical factors, as well as the electrodynamic processes that determine the solar-terrestrial connections. One of the main factors of interplanetary space is undoubtedly the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). The IMF owes its existence to the solar magnetic field, and its structure and dynamics, even in detail, are determined by the behavior of the solar wind.
Many theories have not survived their confrontation with observations.
