A solar storm will hit the Earth?

A solar storm, also known as magnetic storm (geomagnetic) This is a sudden and powerful change in the Earth's magnetic field.

The solar storm was to hit the Earth on July 31 or August 1.. Magnetic storms can cause problems with the operation of electronic devices and harm our well-being.

The solar storm was to hit the Earth on July 31 or August 1.

On July 31 and August 1, the Earth's orbit would be at the same level as the hole in the upper atmosphere of the Sun. Our planet could be exposed to the bombardment of star molecules. In this case, it is only a solar storm.

However, as a prof. dr hab. Paweł Rudawy of the Planetarium of the Institute of Astronomy of the University of Wroclaw in an interview with Wirtualna Polska, there was no fear that the solar storm could "paralyze" our civilization. As the scientist observes, the Sun currently has very low levels of magnetic activity.

professor hab dr. In an interview with Wirtualna Polska, Paweł Rudawy admits that we should not expect strong solar storms in the near future. As a result, there will be no disruption in energy infrastructure, communications or satellite work. In addition, there is very little chance that aurora borealis will occur and disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field will be imperceptible.

Is a solar storm dangerous? What could be the effects of a geomagnetic storm? Changes in the magnetic field caused by solar storms can affect satellite technology, even causing problems with GPS navigation, mobile phone signal and satellite TV.

Solar storms can also result in above-average electricity generation in power lines, which can lead to grid overload and power outages.

A geomagnetic storm can be dangerous by its impact on navigation devices: it can interfere with the readings of the equipment, threaten an aircraft, cause problems with the lines of communication.

Smartphones or GPS navigation may be slower. There may also be interruptions in the reception of satellite television and telephone communications. Thunderstorms can also affect our well-being.

Geomagnetic storm – aurora borealis visible in Poland?

Aurora borealis could have a dramatic effect on a geomagnetic storm. Can aurora borealis be visible in Poland?

The effect of a solar (geomagnetic) storm can be visible to the naked eye, blue lights resembling aurora borealis. This phenomenon can be observed mainly on the poles of the Earth.

Solar storm – what is it?

The impressive aurora borealis can also be a source of problems. The strong solar storms that cause geomagnetic storms cause interference, including radio and satellite. They are also dangerous and threaten aircraft flying at high latitudes. There may be problems with communication lines and device readings on Earth.

Solar storm (magnetic) – is it dangerous?

The most intense solar storm was recorded in 1859. A magnetic storm caused on Earth that caused it failures of the telegraph network, spontaneous sending of messages and even ignition of paper from the sparks appearing in the apparatuses.

Current predictions do not predict that the Earth would be in great danger. A solar (magnetic) storm can, however, cause breakdowns of electrical equipment. The storm usually damages the energy networks. This results in long power outages for millions of people.
