Detailed explanation-1: -When a CME reaches the Earth, its impact disturbs the Earth’s magnetosphere, setting off a geomagnetic storm. A CME typically takes 3 to 5 days to reach the Earth after it leaves the Sun therefore observing the associated solar flare or the ejection of CMEs from the Sun provides an early warning of geomagnetic storms.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most powerful solar storms send coronal mass ejections (CMEs), containing charged particles, into space. If Earth happens to be in the path of a CME, the charged particles can slam into our atmosphere, disrupt satellites in orbit and even cause them to fail, and bathe high-flying airplanes with radiation.
Detailed explanation-3: -These ‘coronal mass ejections’, or CMEs, buffet Earth’s magnetic field, squeezing and shaking it, and can induce enormous electric currents in telephone lines and electrical distribution networks on our planet’s surface. CMEs can also expose astronauts to dangerous levels of radiation.
Detailed explanation-4: -When a CME triggers a geomagnetic storm, satellites can be struck by a high current discharged into the satellite or damaged when high-energy particles penetrate the satellite. As such, vulnerable satellites can be placed in “safe mode” to prevent damage to electronics.
