The storm is moving towards the direction of the earth and is expected to batter parts of the planet between July 13 and July 14.
According to experts, a geomagnetic storm is expected to hit the Earth's atmosphere on Tuesday or Wednesday. According to a report, this storm is a result of solar winds travelling at a speed of a million miles an hour and is expected to hit the Earth anytime soon.
According to reports, a hole has opened up in the atmosphere of the Sun, creating a stream of charged particles and high-speed solar winds. The storm is moving towards the direction of the earth and is expected to batter parts of the planet between July 13 and July 14 (Tuesday and Wednesday).
Experts fear that the strong winds may trigger a geomagnetic storm in Earth's magnetosphere which includes the upper reaches of Earth in space and this may cause the emergence of visually pleasing auroras in north and south latitudinous regions.
What is a geomagnetic storm?
Geomagnetic storms basically refer to major or minor disturbances occurring in Earth's magnetosphere due to the efficient exchange of energy from solar winds entering Earth's space environment.
According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) estimates, solar winds are known to blow at a speed of one million miles per hour. Currently, the winds are travelling at a speed of 1.6 million kilometres per hour towards the Earth. The speed can be expected to increase.
Satellite signals can also be interrupted due to this collision. It can also have a direct effect on radio signals, communication and weather. Not only this, the storm can have a significant impact on a region of space dominated by Earth's magnetic field.
As per previous reports, the National Weather Service's Space Weather Prediction Center had previously predicted in June about a G-1 class geomagnetic storm that had formed as a result of swift solar winds.
Meanwhile, the Sun had recently ejected one of the biggest solar flares observed in over four years that caused a radio blackout over the Atlantic. The X-class solar flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a shortwave radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean.
