Solar Events
Solar events refer to various phenomena that occur on the surface of the Sun or in its atmosphere. These include solar flares, which are sudden bursts of energy, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), where large amounts of plasma are expelled into space. Both events can impact space weather and affect satellites, communication systems, and even power grids on Earth.
These solar activities are driven by the Sun's magnetic field and can vary in intensity. Scientists monitor solar events to better understand their effects on the Earth and to predict potential disruptions. Understanding these events is crucial for protecting technology and infrastructure.
