What is the potential hazard to earth from solar storms?
The main danger seems to be for our satellites; a major flare could potentially cause TRILLIONS of dollars in damage, and damage our communication systems in such a way that it could take years to rebuild it.
Do solar flares cause skin cancer?
Solar flares themselves do not cause skin cancer directly. However, solar flare events can increase the ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth's surface, leading to a higher risk of skin damage and potential risk of skin cancer if adequate sun protection measures are not taken.
Are solar flares harmful to your heath?
Not if you are on the Earth, underneath our protective layer of atmosphere. For astronauts in space, it isn't THAT much of a problem, but the possibility of a massive solar flare that might give the astronauts radiation poisoning can't be eliminated.
Electrically charged flares that arch up from the sun are known as?
solar flare or solar prominences
An eruption on the suns surface is a solar what?
An eruption on the sun's surface is a solar flare, which is a sudden and intense release of energy and radiation. Solar flares can create disturbances in Earth's magnetic field and affect communication systems and power grids.
What are the potential impacts of solar flare effects on electronics?
Solar flare effects on electronics can cause disruptions to communication systems, power grids, and satellites. These disruptions can lead to blackouts, equipment damage, and data loss. It is important for electronic devices to be protected from these effects to prevent potential damage.
Is a solar flare the same thing as a sun flare?
Yes, a solar flare and a sun flare are the same thing. They refer to sudden releases of energy in the sun's atmosphere that can cause disturbances on Earth.
A solar flare can cause disruptions to or on earth?
Radio communications
Will the Earth burn if there were a solar flare?
No. Solar flares are a common occurrence. Earth's magnetic field protects us from the worst of it. The greatest danger is that an especially powerful solar flare could knock out satellites and damage electrical systems.
What is the potential hazard to earth from solar storms?
The main danger seems to be for our satellites; a major flare could potentially cause TRILLIONS of dollars in damage, and damage our communication systems in such a way that it could take years to rebuild it.
Does sun flare attack the earth in 2012?
No. There will be solar flares in 2012 - there are flares every year, even the last couple of years during the depth of the deepest solar minimum in the last century - but solar flares do not "attack the Earth". It is possible that a massive solar flare could cause communications outages, or damage satellites, or cause spectacular auroras - but that could happen ANY time. There were a few satellites damaged by solar flares during the last solar max, in 2002, but the doom-sayers were wrong about that one, too.
What is the sudden explosion near a sunspot?
A sudden explosion near a sunspot is known as a solar flare. This is a burst of energy and radiation released by the Sun that can cause disruptions in the Earth's atmosphere and affect our technology.
When did Graeme king write Solar Flare?
Graeme King wrote solar flare in 2009
Will electrical generators work during a solar flare?
If its sufficiently shielded, maintained and fueled, I don't see why not.
What is solar flare capable of?
A solar flare can set off beautiful Northern Lights. If the solar flare is really powerful, it can mess up communications and it can wreck the power grid.
Do solar flares cause skin cancer?
Solar flares themselves do not cause skin cancer directly. However, solar flare events can increase the ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth's surface, leading to a higher risk of skin damage and potential risk of skin cancer if adequate sun protection measures are not taken.
How does a sun flare effect earth and other planets?
solar flare... sends out a blast of magnetic field, it has been known to cause power outages on the planet of Earth
