Phases in the solar cycle are important because they can change how satellites or natural debris orbit the Earth.

A report by NASA proves the claim that sun undergoes changes resulting in satellites to lose speed and clean the natural as well as man-made debris.

Sunspots are strongly magnetized and lose their power every 11 years, resulting in bringing a relative calm period. The Earth's upper atmosphere is always heated up by ultraviolet radiation creating friction in low Earth orbit causing satellites to lose speed over the time and eventually fall back to earth which helps in cleaning the low Earth orbit from all the space junk either created naturally or human-made particles floating in orbit around Earth.
