Solar storm to hit Earth soon, NOAA warns of widespread disruptions in 11 US states
The Earth is under the impact of two powerful solar storms that could disrupt power, internet, and communications through Monday. On late Sunday evening, a significant G3 geomagnetic storm began, with NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center predicting a G2 storm for Monday, as reported in The Daily Mail.
Solar eruptions release plasma in space and cause geomagnetic storms on Earth by disrupting the planet’s magnetic field. The events are measured on a scale from G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme). Sunday’s storm reached G3 intensity, strong enough to interfere with satellites and power systems, the report added.
