How long does it take for the suns solar energy to reach earth?
About 8-1/3 minutes.
Is the shadow of the moon always long enough to reach the Earth?
No, the shadow of the moon is not always long enough to reach the Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon's shadow on Earth is limited to a specific region where the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth allows for the shadow to be cast on the Earth's surface.
Describe the difference between a solar flare and a solar prominence which affects us and how?
The difference between a solar flare and a solar prominence is that a solar flare emits charged partials, which travel to the Earth. Solar prominence are large sheets that burst out from the Sun that last for days or even weeks and can grow up to 400000km high. A solar flare affects us by emitting charged partials to the Earth. When the partials hit the Earth the Earth's magnetic field forces them to the North and South poles. As this happens it produces an electrical effect in the Earth's atmosphere that interferes with transmission of radio waves. This is why many communities in the far North lose radio communication for many days at a time.It took my a very long time to figure this out. if you are doing this for a science isu in grade 9 them it is on page 453 on the bottom left of the sun diagram.
How long for a solar storm to effect earth?
It can take anywhere from 17 hours to 3 days for a solar storm to reach Earth after being ejected from the sun. The impact of a solar storm on Earth's magnetosphere can cause disruptions to satellite communications, power grids, and GPS systems.

What role does Earth magnetic field play in cosmic ray bombardment?
The magnetic field of Earth is the reason why humans are still around today. It plays the role of attracting the cosmic rays, such as a solar flare for example, and deflects off the surface of the atmosphere. Hence why we have such thing as the aurora borealis or 'Northern Lights'. It shows that activity that the magnetic field is having with the cosmic ray. If we did not have our magnetic field, Earth would have been scorched by a solar flare a long time ago.
About how long does it take solar winds to reach earth?
I calculate about four days. The "slow" solar wind which is the bulk of it, travels at about 400 km/s. The sun is about 149,000,000 km from earth, which works out to about 104 hours. A coronal mass ejection, a massive burst of solar wind with consequences for radio and satellites, may reach earth 1-5 days after eruption.
What activities on Earth would likely be most affected by energy produced during a solar flare?
Activities that rely on precise electromagnetic signals or communications, such as satellite navigation, radio communication, and power grids, would likely be most affected by energy produced during a solar flare. This increased energy can cause disruptions in these systems, leading to potential outages or malfunctions.
How long would it take to reach the largest star in your Solar System?
The largest star in our Solar System is the Sun. Since the Sun is about 93 million miles away from Earth and the speed of light is about 186,282 miles per second, it would take about 8 minutes for light (or any object traveling at the speed of light) to reach the Sun from Earth.
Solar flares last for many years?
Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation from the sun that typically last from a few minutes to a few hours. While the effects of a solar flare, like geomagnetic storms, can persist for days to weeks, the actual flare itself does not last for many years.
What would happen if a solar flare hit Earth?
If a solar flare hit Earth, it could disrupt communication systems, damage satellites, and cause power outages. It may also increase radiation levels and impact electronic devices. Scientists monitor solar activity to prepare for potential effects of solar flares on Earth.
