CME clouds coming out of the Sun tomorrow 13th July a solar storm will hit the Earth says Nasa

The activities taking place in the Sun are putting the planets Earth, Venus and Mercury in ‘trouble’. All three planets are closest to the Sun and are being hit by solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CME) and solar winds. According to the American space agency NASA, a huge CME is moving towards the Earth. It may hit our planet tomorrow i.e. Thursday. When the CME enters the Earth’s atmosphere, spectacular auroras can be seen in many areas including North America.

from spaceweather.com AccordingA G1 category geomagnetic storm may hit Earth on July 13, when the CME will pass close to Earth. Because of this, auroras will be visible in the sky. These can be seen in most of the big cities of America. Aurora is a beautiful natural light that appears in the sky. It is usually seen near the North and South Poles at night. Auroras form when solar winds interact with the Earth’s magnetic field.

As soon as solar storms are mentioned, the question arises whether it will have any impact on our communication services. According to the report, solar storms have the ability to disrupt communications on Earth, but G1 category storms are not very effective. It does not cause any direct harm to our planet, but can harm satellites deployed in lower orbits. There may be some impact on GPS and low-frequency radio waves.

Talking about Coronal Mass Ejection or CME, these are large clouds of solar plasma. After a solar explosion, these clouds spread in space in the Sun’s magnetic field. Due to their rotation in space, they expand and often reach a distance of several lakhs of miles. Many times they collide with the magnetic fields of the planets. When their direction is towards the Earth, they can cause geomagnetic disturbances. Due to these, short circuits may occur in satellites and the power grid may be affected. If their impact is severe, they can also put astronauts in Earth’s orbit in danger.
