Solar Storm Alert G4 class geomagnetic storm from sun reached to earth Nasa NOAA said
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has Said It is said that due to the movements in the Sun, dangerous solar winds are reaching our planet today, due to which a G4 category geomagnetic storm is affecting the Earth. Told that it is a geomagnetic storm of G4 class.
You must be wondering how dangerous the storms coming from the Sun can be for the Earth. According to reports, these storms do not affect the Earth directly. There is no harm to common people. These storms can cause temporary radio blackouts, affecting the operation of navigation systems, aircraft, etc. Power grids may be affected. If the storm is very powerful, it can destroy our satellites in space.
Auroras can be seen today due to solar storms affecting the Earth. Aurora is a beautiful natural light that appears in the sky. It is usually seen near the North and South Poles at night. Scientists have long believed that auroras form when solar winds interact with Earth’s magnetic field. According to reports, it is common to have holes in the Sun’s atmosphere, but if their size is large, then scientists become worried.
Talking about Coronal Mass Ejection i.e. CME, these are big 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.
At the same time, when the Sun’s magnetic energy is released, the light and particles emitted from it create solar flares. These flares are the most powerful explosions ever seen in our solar system, releasing energy comparable to billions of hydrogen bombs.
