When solar storms interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, they can create great show screens near the northern and southern poles – known as Urra Burialis and Uorra Australia, respectively.
This colored light occurs when the charged molecules turn in the upper atmosphere, atoms and exciting molecules to produce vegetables, red and sounds. The more intense the storm, the more these lights can be seen from the columns.
But it is not all night sky to pick up breathtaking. If these storms are strong enough, they can disable the upper atmosphere of the Earth.
Solar storms can spoil chaos on technology. Strong geomagnetic storms can disrupt radio communications and satellite damage.
In extreme cases, such as the 1989 event that brought the energy in Quebec, magnetic storms disrupted electrical networks. Space agents closely monitor solar activity, and warn us when the major storms go on our way.
