What are solar storms?

Solar storms are waves of radioactive plasma. Solar storms happen when knots start to build in the sun's magnetic field. This causes immense amounts of energy to blast into space. Let's see what are the types of solar storms.

Types of solar storms

Starting from the least harmful one, the solar flare. This is a type of storm in space that takes along protons that are present in the solar wind. This can be harmful to some satellites but for beings on earth, nothing at all happens. The next type is the CME (Coronal Mass Ejections). In this Billions of tons of plasma is catapulted through the solar system. If one of these hits the earth, most satellites will get damaged. But for the earth, the magnetosphere will divert the storm to the poles where it will create auroras. Last but not least, The Solar Super Storm. This is very dangerous to us humans and cannot be diverted. If one hits earth then all electric or electronic things will be corrupted and
