Geomagnetic storm

A geomagnetic storm is a temporary disturbance in Earth's magnetic field caused by intense solar activity, such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections. When these energetic particles reach Earth, they interact with its magnetic field and atmosphere, creating phenomena like auroras (northern and southern lights). These storms can disrupt satellite operations, communication systems, and power grids temporarily. While they originate from solar activity, their effects are felt on Earth, highlighting the dynamic relationship between the Sun and our planet's magnetic environment.
