According to the Space Weather website, satellite signals can be disrupted due to Solar Storm. It can also have a direct effect on radio signals, communication and weather.
The possibility of a storm hitting the earth (Solar Storm) – symbolic picture
A severe solar storm is moving towards the Earth at a speed of 1.6 million kilometers per hour. It is feared that this storm may hit the Earth on Monday or Tuesday, causing power outages all over the world. According to the website SpaceWeather.com, the storm originated from the Sun’s atmosphere. A hole has opened in the Sun’s atmosphere and a wave of solar wind is moving in the direction of the Earth.
According to the Space Weather website, satellite signals can also be disrupted due to this collision. It can also have a direct effect on radio signals, communication and weather. Not only this, the area of space with Earth’s magnetic field can have a great impact on the storm. According to the US space agency NASA, the speed of this solar storm can increase by 1.6 million kilometers per hour.
Can cause interruption in mobile phone signal
This storm can heat the outer atmosphere of the Earth, which will have a direct effect on satellites. It can cause interference with GPS navigation, mobile phone signals and satellite TV, thereby increasing the current in power lines. However, this rarely happens because the Earth’s magnetic field acts as a protective shield.
The sight of this event will be visible in the night
According to the Space Weather Prediction Center of the United States, the effect of the Sun’s flames will be focused on the sub-solar point on the sunlit part of the Earth. NASA has classified this flare as an X1.5-class flare. The X-Class shows the brightest flares while the stats reveal more about its strength. For example, X2 is twice as fast as X1 and X3 is three times as fast.
Due to the solar storm, people living at the North or South Pole will be able to see the beautiful celestial light (Auroras) at night.
Historically speaking, solar storms have been known to cause havoc in some parts of the world. In March 1989, a solar storm caused a nine-hour blackout in Hydro-Québec’s electricity transmission system in Canada.
