Solar Flare
- A solar flare is a form of light that spreads like huge lights, which seems like the northern light seen in the Arctic Circle’s nearby areas. However, when it comes out of the state, it travels millions of miles per hour in plasma.
- They are known as Coronal Mass Ejections when they travel and come together and hit the Earth’s surface. It is also known as CMEs. It is the short version of Coronal Mass Ejections.
- When these Coronal Mass Ejections hit with force on the Earth’s surface, it causes Geomagnetic storms which quickly and can single-handled disturb the whole Earth’s surface, including the electronic lines and the grids, and also the satellite.
Scientists study, understand, and look after the whole process of solar storms. According to those skilled scientists, the solar storm that comes out of the sun in the form of a solar flare can appear based on an 11-year cycle. In these 11 years, solar storms can occur based on every day or every week. Scientists have also mentioned that there are high chances or possibilities that a solar storm should happen in the way of a solar flare during 2024, which is just an assumption. Nothing is stated clearly. It may happen, or it may not occur.
Solar Storm – Definition, Types and Effects
The Solar Storm is a problem, or rather we can say that it is a disturbance that takes place or occurs in the sun. The solar storm occurs due to strange incidents on the sun and causes atmospheric effects that directly affect Earth’s weather. When the solar storm hits the Earth from the sun, it hits in the form of northern lights, which can be seen in the nearby areas of the Arctic Circle.
In this article, we will cover Solar Storm, their types, disadvantages, and effects, and also learn about Solar Flares.
