It would be theoretically possible, I suppose, but highly unlikely. A CME and an extreme magnetic storm can induce high electrical voltages, but the length of the average car wire isn't long enough to cause much of a problem. An AM radio transmitting antenna tower perhaps, but not a car's AM reception antenna. Power wires strung for miles from city to city, sure, but not a wire from your battery to the taillight.
There are a great number of things that we need to worry about each day. I would rank this one pretty close to the bottom of the list.
What else can I help you with?
How big are the explosions on the sun?
Explosions on the Sun, like solar flares and coronal mass ejections, can vary in size. Solar flares can release energy equivalent to millions of nuclear bombs, while coronal mass ejections can release billions of tons of solar material into space. These explosions can have various impacts on Earth's magnetosphere and technology.
What are explosions on the sun's surface?
Explosions on the sun's surface are known as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These events release huge amounts of energy in the form of light, particles, and magnetic fields, which can impact space weather and technology on Earth. Solar flares are sudden flashes of increased brightness, while coronal mass ejections release massive clouds of charged particles into space.
What are 3 types of solar storms?
Solar flares: intense bursts of radiation emitted from the sun's surface. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs): massive expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's corona. Solar particle events: high-energy particles released from the sun that can impact satellites and astronauts in space.
What are examples of solar activity?
Examples of solar activity include solar flares, sunspots, coronal mass ejections, and solar wind. These phenomena can have effects on Earth's magnetic field, technology, and space weather.
Bright explosions of hot gases from the chromosphere are called?
Solar flares. They can release a massive amount of energy in a short amount of time, and can cause disruptions to communication systems and power grids on Earth.
How are solar flares and coronal mass ejections similar?
they can both be very disruptive to human activity on earth and in space
What are tremendous explosions in regions around sunspots which eject high-energy particles and emit x-rays called?
I suppose that you think to a "solar flare".Coronal mass ejections are bigger than solar flares.
How big are the explosions on the sun?
Explosions on the Sun, like solar flares and coronal mass ejections, can vary in size. Solar flares can release energy equivalent to millions of nuclear bombs, while coronal mass ejections can release billions of tons of solar material into space. These explosions can have various impacts on Earth's magnetosphere and technology.
What are some effects of sunspots?
Some effects are coronal spots and reconnection events. Also, most solar flares and coronal mass ejections originate in the magnetically active regions around the visible sunspot groupings.
What are explosions on the sun's surface?

These events release huge amounts of energy in the form of light, particles, and magnetic fields, which can impact space weather and technology on Earth. Solar flares are sudden flashes of increased brightness, while coronal mass ejections release massive clouds of charged particles into space.
What are Bubbles if ionized gas emitted from the sun?
Solar bubbles, also known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are massive bursts of ionized gas and magnetic fields from the Sun's corona. They can travel through space and interact with Earth's magnetic field, potentially leading to geomagnetic storms and disruptions to satellite communications.
What are 3 types of solar storms?
Solar flares: intense bursts of radiation emitted from the sun's surface. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs): massive expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's corona. Solar particle events: high-energy particles released from the sun that can impact satellites and astronauts in space.
What are examples of solar activity?
Examples of solar activity include solar flares, sunspots, coronal mass ejections, and solar wind. These phenomena can have effects on Earth's magnetic field, technology, and space weather.
Would coronal mass ejections destroy life on the earth side of the sun if the sun were not turning?
No. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) do blast considerable amounts of solar plasma into space, but the Sun's gravity is so high that most of it falls back into the Sun; only trace amounts reach the Earth's orbit. But even if the Sun were not rotating, the Earth is moving. So even if a still Sun were to pop a CME directly at the Earth, the Earth would move out of the path in a few days.
What solar anomely causes electronic interference?
You may be referring to solar flares, also known as coronal mass ejections. When these interact with Earth's magnetic field, the result can be electromagnetic interference. In severe storms, the interference can damage or destroy electronic equipment on Earth or in orbit.
What are some examples of naturally occurring?
Lightningstatic electricity in synthetic fabrics and carpetselectric eelselectric rays(fish)corrosion of metals by electrolysiscosmic rays and coronal mass ejections from the Sun inducing currents into electricity power lines
Name and describe seven features of the active Sun?
Sunspots: sunspots are cooler and darker regions of the Sun's photosphere created by magnetic fields piercing that region of the Sun's visible surface. (2) Plages: plages are bright regions in the chromosphere associated with magnetic fields in the process of emerging from the Sun. (3) Flares: flares are ejections of large volumes of gas. These gases sometimes head our way, causing auroras and radio interference. A flare is a much less massive ejection than a coronal mass ejection (4) Filaments, and (5) Prominences: filaments and prominences are the same feature seen from different angles. They are loops of magnetic fields carrying gases aloft. (6) Coronal holes: coronal holes are dark, and therefore cooler, portions of the corona that appear over sunspots. They are called 'holes' because these cooler areas of the corona act as conduits for gases to flow out of the sun. (7) Coronal mass ejections: coronal mass ejections and flares are ejections of large volumes of gas. These gases sometimes head our way, causing auroras and radio interference. For all of the features of the active sun listed and described above, magnetic fields play important roles in determining the activity of the active sun.
