Solar storm hits Earth: Scientists have recently issued a warning of solar storm. Scientists believe that a big solar storm is about to hit the Earth. Due to this, a huge impact can be seen on the earth. Electronics devices such as mobiles, computers and communication systems can be most affected by the storm. Let us tell you that India maps the Sun and monitors solar activity over India from Ladakh. Is this going to affect India also? It is important to know.
Scientists said that October 2024 started with a bang. Two large solar flares erupt from the Sun’s surface. These are called coronal mass ejections (CME), which have headed straight towards the Earth. Scientists have named them X7 and X9. These solar flares are very important. The X9 flare is the most powerful flare to erupt from the Sun in the last seven years. It may also cause temporary communications blackouts in the South Atlantic and parts of Africa.
Get to know Solar Storm/Players first
A solar storm is a sudden explosion of particles, energy, magnetic fields and matter launched into the solar system by the Sun. The coming solar storm can disrupt telecommunications and satellites. Indian scientists are keeping an eye on this. Experts of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) have said that they have asked Indian satellite operators to take all precautions. The next few days are crucial for Earth as the storm is moving towards the blue planet.
Sun’s X9 will rain solar particles on Earth
The Space Weather website and many experts believe that solar particles from X9 CME could hit the Earth today, Sunday, October 6. There is a possibility of a big storm hitting the magnetosphere this weekend. This storm is called geomagnetic storm or storm (G3). The G3 storm could cause minor disruption to Earth-orbiting satellites and problems for low-frequency radio and navigation systems.
protect from dangerous storms
At the same time, geomagnetic storm can cause a major disturbance in the Earth’s magnetic field. It can cause radio blackouts, power outages and aurora effects in the Northern Hemisphere. However, they do not directly harm anyone on Earth, because the Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere protect us from these most dangerous storms.
