because the sun is so many light years away that it takes a while for it to reach earth, even if it goes at the speed of light.

When the CME occurs on earth on the sun it takes a couple of days for effects to be noticed on earth why?

It takes a couple of days for the effects of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the sun to be noticed on Earth because the particles ejected travel through space, and it takes time for them to reach our planet. The particles must traverse the distance between the sun and Earth, which is about 93 million miles, before their impact can be observed.


Why does it take a couple of days for cme to be noticed on earth?

It takes a couple of days for a coronal mass ejection (CME) to be noticed on Earth because the particles released during the event travel at varying speeds, with the fastest particles arriving first and the slower ones taking longer to reach our planet. Additionally, the plasma and magnetic fields associated with CMEs can influence the propagation of the particles, causing delays in their arrival time.


Does gravity only effect mass?

Yes, basically. Although according to the General Theory of Relativity, it will also distort space and time. The effects are not easily noticed at the relatively modest gravity of Earth.Yes, basically. Although according to the General Theory of Relativity, it will also distort space and time.

Why does it take a coronal mass ejection a couple of days to be noticed on earth?

That's the amount of time it takes for the sun's light to reach the earth. If you look at the sun today ( don't look directly at it this is an example ) you are seeing it as it was 2 days ago.

Is the focus of an earthquake the where the movement first occurs?

No, the focus of an earthquake refers to the point below the Earth's surface where the energy is released, initiating the rupture of the fault. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus where the earthquake's effects are most strongly felt.
