Solar storm will hit the Earth today, a big threat to communication satellite and GPS service!

Space scientists have said that a solar storm is going to hit the Earth today, the effect of which will continue during this weekend. It has been said that it will be Coronal Mass Ejection (CMS). That is, these are explosions on the surface of the Sun in which plasma and magnetic radiation emerge. This solar storm is expected to hit the earth both today and tomorrow. So far, scientists have not even been able to decide whether these two solar storms will collide one after the other or they will combine together to form a much bigger, more powerful solar storm. Many things depend on the time of their collision. A full halo coronal mass ejection (CME) can be as powerful as a G-3 class solar storm, which can damage Earth’s communications system. Not only this, it can also cause heavy damage to satellites moving in high orbit.

A report has been released on the Twitter account called Halo CME, which states that a large solar storm is moving towards the Earth, which is also called Solar Tsunami. It is certain to be a G1-G2 class solar storm, but it cannot be denied that it can turn into a G-3 class solar storm as well. Spaceweather also took it Prediction is of. It will collide with the Earth’s magnetic field and this can damage the Earth’s communication system and satellites.

NASA says that the sun completes a solar cycle of 11 years. That is, this solar cycle starts once and lasts for 11 years. In this cycle, solar activity first increases and then decreases. As the cycle nears its end, there is a marked reduction in activity. The highest point of activity is called solar maximum, when activity such as solar storms increases the most. In 2023, the sun will be in its solar maximum phase, it is being said.

Scientists say that as the solar maximum begins to approach, seasonal activities begin to intensify due to the sun in space. The solar storm currently hitting the Earth is being described as a G3 class. A G3 class solar storm is likely to cause minor damage to satellites, and may also cause interference with GPS etc. While G5 class solar storms can destroy power grids, cause widespread fires and damage electronic gadgets.
