Can I leave my M2 MacBook Air plugged in to Power?

I use my computer often at home and travel periodically for business. Is it safe for my battery to remain plugged in to my power source, for long periods time?

Yes. You can leave your computer plugged in when needed or when convenient to do so. Leaving the computer plugged in will not damage the computer or the battery. The MacOS manages the power/charging system very well. There is no need for you to micro manage the system.
