What are the sun torches and why NASA says that they can cause electricity disappears on Earth – BBC News in Serbian

The sun is currently undergoing a period of increased activity, which produced the strongest solar torch this year, characterized by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (Solar Dynamics Observatory) US Space Agency NASA.

During the period of high activity, the continuous current of the charged particles from the sun, known as solar or sun wind, constantly hits the earth.

This phenomenon, known as space-time or solar storms, can influence technology on Earth and thus challenges and disappearance, as well as on astronauts in space, but not dangerous to people on the ground.

What is the sun’s torch?

Solar storms are a normal part of the solar cycle of the sun.

They form when the sun expels huge amounts of energy in the form of solar torches and coronal explosions, broadcasting light, energy and solar material into space.

The solar torches represent electromagnetic radiation that travels from the sun at a speed of light and reaches the country for just over eight minutes.

They often occur with coronal explosions, type of solar activity when large jets of plasma erupt from the corona over the explosions of solar winds and magnetic field, but move more slowly, speeds of more millions of miles per hour.

Solar storms of different intensity arrive on the ground.

Energy from the sun can create light phenomena in the sky known as polar light, or aurora borealis in the north and aurora australis on the southern sex.

How can solar storm affect the ground?

According to NASA, sunbeams and explosions can affect radio communication, electric power networks and navigation systems on Earth.

For example, 2017 years, two strong sun torches that erupted from the surface of the Sun have caused disorders in devices such as global positions (GPS).

In February, 2011. year, strong sunlight distracted radio communication throughout China.

Earlier, in 1989. year, the sun was caused by the nine-hour interruption in electricity supply of millions of people in the Canadian Province of Quebec.

And back in 1859. year, a huge solar explosion caused a geomagnetic storm that distracted the signaling on railway in Australia and telegraph lines.

Threats like this still exist today.

Exploring the University of Lancaster, England, warns that the railway network in the United Kingdom (UK) should be ready for a possible solar storm that could cause serious traffic disorders.

How often do solar storms happen?

The sun was made of hot gas filled with electric charge, which moves continuously and thus creates a strong magnetic field.

This field goes through the so-called solar cycle, during which the surface of the sun regularly changes the calm phases and storm activities.

About every 11 years, at the peak of the solar cycle, magnetic poles of the sun, northern and south, replacement of the place.

According to the International Group of Experts, which commonly sponsored NASA and American National Administration for Oceans and Atmosphere (NOAA), current cycle, known as 25. The Sun Cycle, began in December 2019. years.

The beginning of the sun’s cycle is called a solar minimum.

At that stage, the sun has the smallest number of solar spots, dark spots that help scientists follow our stars.

As the sun’s activity is increased, the number of sunspots is growing.

In the middle of the solar cycle, known as a solar maximum, the sun has the most pegs, and its magnetic poles change places.

NASA and NOA state that the sun has reached its solar maximum in the current cycle during the last year.

In the sun spots, which look darker because they are colder than the environment, there is huge light and energy explosions.

Most pegs covers the surface that is approximately the size of the earth, and some are also significantly higher.

The possibility of the appearance of solar storms is the largest at the peak of the solar maximum during the eleventh year-old cycle.
