Solar Flare erupted from sun Radio Blackout in America Canada Nasa SDO

The activities taking place in the Sun have increased the concern of scientists. Our Sun is passing through a period of solar maximum. During this time, it is more aggressive and is carrying out incidents like Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), Solar Flares. The period of solar maximum is going to continue till the year 2025. Because of this, the Earth will have to face some challenge every day. Solar winds are going to hit our Earth on 21st June i.e. Wednesday also. Just before that, on Tuesday night, a solar flare emanated from the Sun and affected the Earth.

The solar flare erupted from a sunspot on the Sun called AR3341. This was an X-class solar flare, which is extremely powerful. This caused a temporary shortwave radio blackout in many areas of the US and Canada. spaceweather.com about this told Is.

It has been said that an X-class solar flare occurred on June 20 due to a sunspot named AR3341 formed in the Sun. It affected Earth’s atmosphere, causing shortwave radio blackouts in areas of the United States and Canada. Its effect lasted for a few minutes.

What are solar flares?

Solar flares are created by the light and particles emitted when the Sun releases magnetic energy. These flares are the most powerful explosions ever seen in our solar system, releasing energy comparable to billions of hydrogen bombs. The energetic particles present in them travel at the speed of light.

Solar flares or coronal mass ejection events do not directly affect humans, but their effects can cause short circuits in satellites. Power grids may fail. These storms can also endanger astronauts in Earth’s orbit.

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has been tracking the activities taking place in the Sun for the past several years. It provides information about every major event, which helps scientists understand its impact.
