Detailed explanation-1: -Strong electrical currents driven along the Earth’s surface during auroral events disrupt electric power grids and contribute to the corrosion of oil and gas pipelines. Changes in the ionosphere during geomagnetic storms interfere with high-frequency radio communications and Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solar flares are huge explosions of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun. A flare appears as a sudden, intense brightening of a region on the Sun, lasting several minutes to hours. Flares occur when intense magnetic fields on the Sun become too tangled.
Detailed explanation-3: -Solar flares produce high energy particles and radiation which is harmful to living things. Major solar flares can cause problems to GPS systems, and can affect other satellites. They also produce radiation that can lead to skin cancer. They can knock out electrical grids and can cause the northern lights.
