Sun fires off

Many solar storms have occurred so far in the year 2024. Some of these were so big that they also caused radio blackouts in many places on Earth. Solar storms are born from explosions in craters formed in the Sun. It is like a volcano erupting on Earth. Similar explosions keep happening in the Sun, which release a lot of solar energy. These are also called solar flares. Auroras are often formed in the sky due to solar storms. Space agency NASA has now reported another terrible solar storm.

Thursday, September 12, larger than a sunspot Solar Storm This has raised the X1.3 class Solar Flare Let us tell you that X-class solar flares are considered to be the most powerful solar storms. They are filled with so much solar energy that its huge impact reaches the Earth. Such solar storms damage high frequency (HF) radio signals. However, the scientists have not yet named the sunspot from which it has arisen. But this is a big solar storm whose effect can last till this weekend.

Such solar storms can pose a threat to communication systems on Earth. Because they can completely destroy high frequency (HF) radio signals or cause major damage. According to Space.com AccordingThis explosion in the sun can affect communication in parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia. Apart from this, aurora can also be seen today or tomorrow due to this.

According to scientists, solar storms do not have a direct effect on humans. The reason for this is the Earth’s magnetic field which does not allow solar storms to enter the Earth’s atmosphere. But larger and more powerful solar storms can affect power grids. Apart from this, they can also damage satellites revolving in the lower orbit of the Earth.
