Powerful Solar Storm May Strike Earth; Can Impact GPS, Phone Signal

A powerful solar storm is approaching the earth at a speed of 1.6 million kilometres per hour, as per the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and It is likely to hit the planet’s magnetic field.

According to the official reports, the storm started in the Sun’s atmosphere and is capable of disrupting GPS navigation, mobile phone signals, and satellite TV. As the sun is made of gas, the gas sometimes bursts inside the sun but mostly traps inside and rarely gets released, the release turns into a solar storm and moves opposite to the sun.

The report further added that the solar storm is moving towards the earth and may hit it and people may see flames of fire in the sky. Due to the solar storm, there can be disruption in power and communication systems. But, they pose no major risk to human health.  Those residing in higher latitudes may get to witness spectacular aurora activity. Solar storms, loaded with charged particles, interact with the earth’s magnetic fields to produce celestial displays in the night skies.
