Example
Magnetic storms occur when solar wind disturbances, such as coronal mass ejections or high-speed solar wind streams, interact with Earth's magnetic field.
During a magnetic storm, the increased solar activity can lead to disruptions in satellite communications, power grids, and navigation systems.
A magnetic storm, also known as a geomagnetic storm, is a disturbance in Earth's magnetosphere caused by solar wind interactions.
Scientists monitor magnetic storms closely to better understand their effects on Earth's technology and to develop strategies for mitigating potential disruptions.
