The earth’s magnetic field has many possibilities to interfere with or affect communication infrastructure around the world.
For example, satellites and GPS may also affect the power grid, which in turn affects the power supply in some areas. In early July, on the 3rd, a solar flare created by a sunspot named AR2838 exploded, causing a radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean.
Solar flares may affect satellite communications:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) confirmed that the solar storm is advancing toward the earth at a speed of 1.6 km/h, and its maximum speed is 500 kilometers per second, spaceweather.com said.
Scientists believe that a geomagnetic storm can hit satellites in the upper atmosphere of the earth, thereby affecting GPS navigation, mobile phone signals, and satellite TV.
If not directly hitting the communication body, Spaceweather.com claims that due to high-speed solar storms, the Earth’s outer atmosphere will heat up, which will have a direct impact on the satellite.
In addition, according to the forecast of the US Space Weather Forecast Center, solar flares may also affect the power grid. If it forms, it may cause blackouts and blackouts in some parts of the world). May also cause geomagnetic storms in the Earth’s magnetosphere.
What is a solar flare?
Scientists have marked solar flares at the X1 level (in the current discussion). NASA pointed out that when classified as the intensity of solar flares, the largest flares are called “X-class flares.”
