Sun fires off

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

A large solar storm arose from a sunspot on Thursday, September 12. This results in X1.3 class solar flare Has woken up. 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 major impact reaches the Earth. Such solar storms cause damage to high frequency (HF) radio signals. However, scientists have not yet named the sunspot from which it arose. But this is a major solar storm whose effects may 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. space dot com AccordingThis explosion in the Sun may affect communications in parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia. Apart from this, Aurora may also be visible due to this today or tomorrow.

According to scientists, solar storms do not have any 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 overwhelm electrical grids. Apart from this, they can also cause damage to satellites revolving in low Earth orbit.
