Abstract
In this colloquium, I will first present the rudimentary details of plasma physics and briefly discuss the models that are employed to comprehend the wave propagation in plasmas. I will then quickly go through the important ideas about Sun-Earth interaction and introduce the Cluster mission. Finally, I will give an example where theory and data show a very good agreement.
