The FAST satellite mission collected data near Earth’s poles, a region where energy and charged particles from the Sun, known as the solar wind, can flow into Earth’s space environment. These particles follow Earth’s magnetic field lines and interact with the atmosphere, especially near the poles. One way to study these interactions is by measuring electric fields, which dictate how charged particles move.In this study, we use data from the FAST mission to explore how these electric fields change in the polar regions when solar wind conditions change. This allows us to understand how changes in the Sun's activity can shape electric field structures in near-Earth space. These results also provide a valuable starting point for understanding data from NASA's new TRACERS mission, which explores a similar region in Earth's polar space environment, just closer to Earth.
