After Solar Storm, now Radiation Storm is coming: Scientists are still trying to fully understand the solar storm that came last week. Meanwhile, scientists have issued a warning about a radiation storm. Big flames are rising from the surface of the Sun. Electromagnetic radiation is being emitted. It contains a large amount of charged particles whose speed has increased due to the magnetic activity taking place on the surface of the Sun.
Experts said, another big danger
Many of these particles have been seen moving in the direction of the Earth. These particles can interact with our planet's magnetic field and atmosphere, causing problems in satellite communications. Apart from this, there may also be a risk of radiation for the astronauts present in space.These particles can also disrupt power grids. This radiation storm may come this week. In this way, after the solar storm, our planet is now facing another big threat in the form of radiation storm.
Where can it cause more harm?
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the coming radiation storm will be different from the geomagnetic storm that occurred last week. The geomagnetic storm was so powerful that if it had hit the Earth directly, it could have damaged the planet's protective magnetic field, the magnetosphere. Most of the radiation storm will be absorbed by the magnetosphere but this will not happen at the planet's magnetic poles. This is because here the magnetic field curves downwards.
