A solar storm has arrived in the world on Saturday, slamming into earth's magnetic field.
NASA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said that solar flares will be more powerful this weekend, affecting the earth. The solar flares are named as “Solar Storm” and a solar storm occurs when billions tons of overheat gas nebulas flare out of the atmosphere of the sun. Thus, a huge magnetic energy releases suddenly causing energy-loaded particles to spread into the space.
Solar storms affect energy transit lines, communication and satellite systems in certain regions of the world.
Sometimes a solar storm can force Airlines to reroute their flights to avoid the extra radiation around the north and south poles.
However, experts say the solar storm that will be affecting the world this weekend will be a minor event, easing anxieties.
All telephone lines in US state of Illinois were cut when a solar storm hit the region in 1972.
In 1989, a strong solar storm knocked out the power grid in Quebec, causing 6 million people to lose electricity.
