Magnetic storm
01
a disruption in earth's magnetic field caused by solar activity, resulting in variations that can impact electronic systems and communications on earth
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.
