Question

How can solar weather affect our lives on Earth?

Answer 1

Solar weather can affect your lives on earth because the sun sends out solar wind, and occasionally huge explosions can send a cloud of ions and radiation in our direction. The solar wind stays constant, and Earths magnetic field works well in deflecting it. Solar flares send coronal mass ejections - CMEs - toward Earth; these don't affect us or other life on Earth, but it causes Earth's magnetic field to flex and bend; this generates huge voltages in power grids, satellite systems, and other electrical units, causing them to overload and burn out.

Answer 2

The solar weather comprises of solar winds, flares and prominence. The sun is slowly its mass. The solar wind carries charged particles and mass of sun into the solar system. The magnetic field of the Earth protects from the solar wind. When the intensity is high, communication network gets disturbed. The satellites are hampered.

Due to coronal mass ejection, the shape of the magnetic field of the Earth changes, the charged particles leak through it and effect the electrical equipment.
