5.9 Years vs. 10.8 Years

The length of an Earth day and the gravitational constant as measured on Earth vary in 5.9 year cycles, while sunspots activity varies in 10.8 year cycles.

The 5.9 year cycle is half a Jupiter year, while the sunspot cycle is equal in duration to the resonant period of Jupiter and Saturn.

The two numbers don't have much in common. However, it makes sense that it is the combination of Saturn and Jupiter that governs factors on the Sun, while it is only Jupiter that governs factors on Earth. After all, Saturn is about twice as far away from us as Jupiter, and less massive. It's effect on Earth should be small. Saturn's effect on the overall current of the solar system should on the other hand be significant enough to have an effect on the Sun.

Saturn has no direct influence on Earth. However, indirectly it does. The sunspot cycle is related to Earth's climate and geological activity. When sunspot activity is at a minimum, Earth is exposed to an increase in cosmic rays. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cloud cover and thunderstorms increase.

This should in turn have an effect on gravity. The capacitor model predicts a close correlation between gravity and geologic activity. However, it is not the sunspot cycle that correlates to cyclical changes in gravity. Variations in Earth's gravity is governed entirely by Jupiter.

So, what's going on? If gravity is electrical in nature, shouldn't the sunspot cycle modulate this? What exactly is Jupiter's role. There's no cyclical electrical activity correlating to the Jupiter year.

The only explanation I can think of is that Jupiter somehow modulates Earth's capacitance. While sunspot cycles modulate the electrical input to our planet, extra input without added capacitance will not lead to any buildup of charge. It is only when capacitance is allowed to increase that charge can be added, and for some reason, this mechanism is governed by Jupiter.

From this it follows that the cyclical changes in the length of Earth days is related to capacitance too. This squares up reasonably well with the idea that Earth is a homopolar motor. The rate of its spin is affected by the amount of charge held in its internals, not the overall electrical activity on its surface.
