‘Solar explosion’ may hit the earth today, danger looms over the earth

09 February. Today a big event is going to happen in space, during Wednesday-Thursday a new ‘sun explosion’ can hit our Earth, due to which there is a possibility of a geomagnetic storm. Although there was a geomagnetic storm just a week before today, but there was no harm due to it, but today’s storm is said to be more severe than before, so the earth can be damaged.

‘Solar explosion may hit Earth today’

The information about this storm has been given by the Center of Excellence in Space Sciences of the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research. He has made a tweet about this. In which he has written that ‘Today i.e. on February 9, the Earth may have to face a geomagnetic storm. This storm can come between 11.18 am Indian time to 3.23 pm on February 10.

There may be danger from this storm

The potential for this storm could be 451-615 kmph. Due to this storm there may be problems in communication system, broadcasting, radio network, navigation etc.

Let us know in detail what is a geomagnetic storm?

In fact, geomagnetic storms, commonly known as solar storms, are caused by a change in the magnetic field. This change occurs when the coronal mass ejection coming from the Sun collides with the Earth’s magnetic field. This can lead to solar energetic particle (SEP) events, geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), ionospheric disturbances. There are three types of geomagnetic storms.

Preliminary, Main and Recovery (Three Types of Hurricane)

. The preliminary stage is also known as SSC. However, not all geomagnetic storms have an early stage.

. The duration of the main phase is usually 2-8 hours.

. The recovery phase occurs when Dst changes from its minimum value to its quiet time value

What is Coronal Mass Ejection?

Let us tell you that the flames emanating from the Sun are called coronal mass ejections, during which a large part of the plasma and magnetic field ejects from the corona of the Sun, which can be fatal. this incident

Geomagnetic storm intensity is reported in several different ways and these methods are as follows:

kashmir index , a-index, G-scale of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

largest geomagnetic storm

The largest geomagnetic storm occurred in September 1859, which destroyed parts of the US telegraph network.
