Nothing personal, the Sun is just going through a phase right now.
is a large expulsion of plasma and magnetic field from the solar surface. When the particles in this expulsion and the magnetic field interact with the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field, it compresses the latter, which is referred to as a geomagnetic storm.The cause of a CME is usually a sunspot, a dark region on the solar surface where the magnetic field is intense enough to stop the convection process temporarily and cool down the region.
While the Earth's atmosphere absorbs much of the storm, the compression of the magnetosphere does cause auroras and radio blackouts. As the strength of the storm increases, auroras can be seen further away from the poles, and radio blackouts grow stronger, affecting navigation and communication devices.can result in damage to satellites and spacecraft as well as cause disruptions to electrical grids, which can push humanity into the dark age within a few seconds.
Neither of these events has anything to do with solar flares or coronal mass ejections, which are an event of their own following their own 11-year cycle when the Sun's poles flip positions. As the Sun reaches an active phase of its cycles, CMEs andincrease in number. And one such flare will hit the Earth on January 5 as the planet moves along toward the farthest point in its elliptical orbit.
Just some celestial bodies going their merry way, spinning about their axes and flipping poles, while you spend a lifetime of 60-70 years worrying about Earthily matters.
