Yep, and you can model the solar-terrestrial system as an electrical circuit. The Earth itself can be modeled as a Resistor-inductor-capacitor circuit. Its why the massive Carrington Events can wipe out our electrical civilization. They have almost no effect on the Moon.
TIL the Earth's atmosphere has an ambient electric field: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_electricity …

Electricity in the atmosphere is a cool topic, with many mysteries still around. BTW, it seems Feynman talk about it in his lectures: http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_09.html
