Recent heightened solar activity, marked by increased sunspots and frequent coronal mass ejections (CMEs), presents a potential collision between these CMEs and Earth. These massive CMEs, ejecting billions of tons of material at speeds up to 3000 km/s, originate from the Sun's core. They can cause disruptions termed geomagnetic storms, graded on a G1 to G5 scale. Although a G1 storm poses minimal direct threats to life, it may impact power grids, GPS, and satellite operations.
Geomagnetic storms could enhance aurora and be visible in lower latitudes. Possible collision between CME and Earth by late November 25. | World News
One notable effect of geomagnetic storms is the enhancement of the aurora, the colorful luminous display observed near the poles.
