New Delhi: The earth can be influenced by high-speed solar storms, close to 1.6 million kilometers per hour, according to information released by NASA.
It can affect satellite signals and communication networks, and disrupt the GPS system, cellphones and TV can also disrupt power transmission.
Solar storms are a large burst of charged particles, removed from the sun’s atmosphere into space.
The current storm is the result of a ‘hole’ in the equatorial area of the sun.
It is expected to destroy the earth on Tuesday.
NASA first detected it on July 3, and classified it as class X1.5 flare.
The X-Class shows the most intense flare, while the number provides more information about its strength.
X2 twice as intense as x1, x3 three times more intense, etc.
This geo-magnetic storm has a big risk for human health.
But interference in the power and communication system is common.
Cellular transmission, TV, and satellites can also be influenced by this strong phenomenon.
Those who live in a higher latitude might be able to witness a spectacular Aurora activity.
Solar storms, full of charged particles, interact with the earth’s magnetic field to produce the look of the sky in the night sky.
Strong solar storms likely to put the earth on Tuesday
