A powerful solar storm is moving towards Earth at high speed. It is being told that it can hit the earth. This storm is moving towards the earth at a speed of about 16 lakh kilometers per hour. It is a powerful storm emanating from the surface of the Sun, which can have a huge impact on the Earth.
According to the Spaceweather.com website, this solar storm originated in the Sun’s atmosphere, which could significantly affect a region of space dominated by a magnetic field. A warning has been issued by scientists regarding this storm. It tells people to avoid air travel if not necessary, as satellite signals can be disrupted. Its effect can also be seen in flights, radio signals, communication and weather.
Know how it can harm
According to the information, solar storms can heat the outer atmosphere of the Earth, which will have a direct effect on satellites. It will interfere with phone signals, satellite TV and GPS navigation, while also threatening to cause current to power lines. However, the Earth’s magnetic field acts as a protective shield against it, so the chances of this happening are negligible.
Earth has suffered solar storms before
Earlier in 1989, a solar storm caused a 12-hour power outage in Quebec City, Canada. During that time lakhs of people had to face difficulties. At the same time, in the year 1859, there was a geomagnetic storm, which destroyed the telegraph network in Europe and America.
