Solar Storm: history and Dangers to the earth!!

When explosions occur due to the collision of gases on the sun, they give rise to solar flares or solar flares and they travel towards the earth. Their speed is 30 lakh miles per hour. On the second day in July, the solar storm is going to strike the earth again. Earlier this month also a geomagnetic storm hit the Earth. This made a bright aurora (bright beam) in the Canadian sky. In such a situation, it is important to know that how do solar flares or solar storms arise? And what harm do they do by reaching the earth millions of miles away?

Actually, the word storm itself is a little scary. On hearing its name, there is a storm of rain and devastation all around, but solar storms are different from ocean storms. sea storms strike the Earth from within, while solar storms strike from outside.

Formidable flames speak towards the earth

As the name suggests, solar storms are directly related to the Solar System and in that too it is directly related to the Sun. In fact, it is a group of fierce flames rising on the sun, which are produced by the explosion caused by the effects of gases there. These explosions can be as powerful as several atomic bombs. When explosions occur due to the collision of gases on the sun, they give rise to solar flares or solar flares and they travel towards the earth. Their speed is 30 lakh miles per hour.

it affects the earth

Massive streams of charged particles from solar flares called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). When they collide with Earth, they send a stream of electric charges and magnetic fields to Earth located 150 million kilometers from the Sun. These have an impact on the communication system via satellites, the electricity grid and sea and air transport. In february 2011, a powerful solar flare in china disrupted radio communications across the country.

Strong solar storms occur every 11 years

According to scientists who study solar storms, strong solar storms occur every 11 years. During this time, solar flares can occur daily or every week. The maximum number of solar storms could occur in 2024. Earlier this month also a geomagnetic storm hit the Earth. Due to this, a bright beam of light was formed over Canada.

Blackout threat in many parts of the world

Dr. Tamita Skov, a scientist known as the space weather woman, has predicted a direct collision of the Sun's flames with the Earth in a tweet. nasa scientists said that a massive solar flare emanating from the sun could cause radio blackouts in many parts of the world on Tuesday. nasa has predicted the peak of this effect on the morning of July 19.

Surya in active phase of 11 years : Dr. Pandey

Dr. Shashibhushan Pandey, scientist of the Aryabhatta Research and Observational Science Institute (ARIES), Nainital, said that the sun is now in the active phase of its 11-year solar cycle. This is expected to increase the incidence of solar flares. Usually they can cause significant blackouts to the GPS navigation system. These can disrupt the travel of small planes and ships. There is nothing to worry too much.
