SOLAR STORMS :
■ SOLAR storm,solar flare,geomagnetic storm,coronal cloud,coronal mass ejection:--
• According to a research, sudden releases of high-energy particles from the sun, called solar storms, can mess with the navigational ability of gray whales, causing them to strand on land.
• Solar storms have the potential to modify geomagnetic field and disrupt magnetic orientation.
• They disrupt earth’s magnetic field — and the whales’ navigational sense.
• The radio frequency noise created by the solar outburst affects the whales’ senses in a way that prevents them from navigating at all.
• Solar storms are violent events on the sun which can temporarily distort the earth’s magnetosphere – the region around the earth which is influenced by its magnetic field.
• Solar storms include:----
• Solar flare, a large explosion in the Sun's atmosphere.
• Coronal mass ejection (CME), a massive burst of solar wind, sometimes associated with solar flares
• Coronal cloud, the mass of plasma and particles ejecta of a CME after jettisoned from the Sun.
• Geomagnetic storm, the interaction of the Sun's outburst with Earth's magnetic field.
• Solar particle event (SPE), proton or energetic particle (SEP) storm.
• A solar flare is a sudden flash of increased brightness on a star, usually observed near its surface and in close proximity to a sunspot group.
• Powerful flares are often, but not always, accompanied by a coronal mass ejection. Even the most powerful flares are barely detectable in the total solar irradiance.
• A coronal mass ejection (CME) is a significant release of plasma and accompanying magnetic field from the solar corona. They often follow solar flares and are normally present during a solar prominence eruption.
• The plasma is released into the solar wind, and can be observed in coronagraph imagery.
• A coronal cloud is the cloud of hot plasma gas surrounding a coronal mass ejection. It is usually made up of protons and electrons. When a coronal mass ejection occurs at the Earth's Sun, it is the coronal cloud that usually reaches Earth and causes damage to electrical equipment and space satellites, not the ejection or flare itself.
• The damage is mostly the result of the high amount of electricity moving through the atmosphere.
• A geomagnetic storm
(commonly referred to as a solar storm) is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by a solar wind shock wave and/or cloud of magnetic field that interacts with the Earth's magnetic field.
• A solar particle event or solar proton event
(SPE), or prompt proton event, occurs when particles (mostly protons) emitted by the Sun become accelerated either close to the Sun during a flare or in interplanetary space by coronal mass ejection shocks.
■ THE 🌞@👀 :
• Age: 4.6 billion years.
• Diameter: 1.39 million km.
• Temperature: 6000 °C on surface and 16 million °C in core.
• Density: 1.41 times that of water.
• Density of water = 999.97 kg/m³ = ~ 1 g/cm3;
• Density of Iron = 7870 kg/m³.
• The solar interior, from the inside out, is made up of the core, radiative zone and the convective zone.
• The solar atmosphere above that consists of the photosphere, chromosphere, and the corona (solar wind is an outflow of gas from the corona).
• A dark patch on the surface of the Sun is known as a sunspot.
● sunspot.
• The solar wind is a stream of energised, charged particles, primarily electrons and protons, flowing outward from the Sun at speeds as high as 900 km/s and at a temperature of 1 million degrees (Celsius).
• A corona a distinctive atmosphere of plasma that surrounds the Sun and other celestial bodies.
• The Sun’s corona extends millions of kilometres into space and is most easily seen during a total solar eclipse.
