Solar storm
In this article, we will explore Solar storm in detail, a topic that has captured the attention of many experts in recent years. Solar storm is a complex and fascinating topic that has generated great interest in both the academic community and the general public. Over the next few pages, we will analyze the different facets of Solar storm, from its origins to its impact on today's society. We will dive into debates, research and theories related to Solar storm, with the goal of providing a comprehensive and up-to-date view on this constantly evolving topic.
A solar storm is a disturbance on the Sun, which can emanate outward across the heliosphere, affecting the entire Solar System, including Earth and its magnetosphere, and is the cause of space weather in the short-term with long-term patterns comprising space climate.[1][2]
Types
Solar storms include:
- Solar flare, a large explosion in the Sun's atmosphere caused by tangling, crossing or reorganizing of magnetic field lines
- Coronal mass ejection (CME), a massive burst of plasma from the Sun, sometimes associated with solar flares
- Geomagnetic storm, the interaction of the Sun's outburst with Earth's magnetic field
- Solar particle event (SPE), proton or energetic particle (SEP)
