Solar storms and LEO satellites: ISRO monitors decay
Solar storms push satellites in Low Earth Orbit toward decay In the realm of space weather, solar storms are a powerful reminder that the Sun’s activity can directly influence objects far from Earth. When charged particles erupt from the Sun and strike Earth’s upper atmosphere, they heat and expand the outer layer of our planet’s…

Solar Storms and Solar Wind: How Particles from the Sun Interact with Earth
What are solar wind and solar storms? Every day, Earth experiences weather—wind, rain, and storms. But there’s also weather in space, driven by the Sun. Two key ideas scientists talk about are the solar wind and solar storms. The solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particles, mainly protons and electrons, that blow outward…

Solar Storms and Solar Wind: How Particles from the Sun Shape Life on Earth
What are solar wind and solar storms? Every day, Earth experiences weather in the sky—wind, clouds, rain. But there’s also weather in space, driven by the Sun. Two key phenomena in space weather are the solar wind and solar storms. The solar wind is a steady stream of charged particles—mostly protons and electrons—that flows continuously…

Solar storms and solar wind: How the Sun shapes space weather
What are solar wind and solar storms? Every day, Earth experiences weather—wind, rain, and storms. In space, there is also weather, created by the Sun. Two key players in space weather are the solar wind and solar storms. The solar wind is a constant, ever-present flow of charged particles blasting outward from the Sun. Solar…

NASA and IBM Launch AI Model to Predict Solar Flares
Introduction to Solar Activity and Its Impacts Solar activity, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), plays a crucial role in space weather that significantly impacts our technology-driven society. These solar phenomena can disrupt satellite communications, interfere with GPS signals, and even cause power grid failures on Earth. As we become increasingly reliant on…
