Climate change manifestations are manifold and include not only theerraticchangesintheatmosphericandoceanictemperatureoftheEarthbutalsointhewhole environment of the Earth. Important extraterrestrial and local scale changes can be correlated by other planets and their moons by the extremely advanced sensors available in satellites. Extraterrestrial remote sensing is an evolving science meant to infer and address the unsolved problems of the terrestrial system, including mutation of viruses before pandemic outbreaks. Using sensors it is possible to correlate the tectonic activities of the moon and the Earth that hold the key to earthquake prediction possibility in future. In this book we attempt to correlate the magnetic field variations in different planetary systems and helioseismological parameters.
