Solar activities are directly or indirectly responsible for climate variability around the globe. Evidences of such correspondences between solar activities and palaeoclimatic proxy data have been reported from polar as well as tropical regions, suggesting solar influence over climate dynamics. However, these findings need to be further strengthened by covering vast geographical region for generating palaeoclimatic data and corresponding variations in solar activities. A better time control on proxy data is essential to arrive at conclusive understanding and plausible causal linkages between solar activity and climate changes from poles to tropics.
