Solar storm to hit earth possibly causing GPS and radio disruption

The Earth is anticipated to experience the effects of a geomagnetic storm on Monday due to an incoming solar storm that erupted on the sun on Sunday.

A magnetic filament ejected from the sun’s surface, resulting in a coronal mass ejection (CME) that is expected to collide with Earth’s atmosphere around 1 p.m. ET, according to NASA.

When a CME interacts with Earth’s magnetosphere, it generates geomagnetic storms.

NOAA assesses the strength of geomagnetic storms on a scale from G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme). The upcoming solar storm is projected to be G2, with a possibility of reaching G3.

A storm watch has been issued, and while the general public need not be overly concerned, the moderate storm could potentially cause technological disruptions upon reaching Earth.

The collision of the CME may lead to issues such as GPS disturbances, satellite problems, power grid issues, and the visibility of northern lights further south than usual, as noted by NOAA.

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are triggered by magnetic activity on the sun’s surface, expelling large amounts of solar plasma into space, WFTV9 reported.
