Sad Particles of the Sun

As we continue our life on earth, imagine that suddenly the electricity is cut off and all our electronic devices are broken.

Yes, there is a possibility that such a thing could happen, according to experts. Explosions in the sun can cause apocalypse on earth.

So how will our world be affected if there is a big explosion in the sun?

Crucial to life on Earth, the Sun is like a ball of superheated gas 1.5 million kilometers across. The central temperature of the Sun, which is one of the extremely hot gas structures called plasma, is about 15 million degrees. At such high temperatures, atoms can change into different atoms. A great deal of energy is released during this transformation. It can take thousands of years for energy from the center of the sun to reach the sun's surface.

Also, massive stars like the Sun create a type of radiation storm in space called stellar winds. As the activity in massive stars increases, so does the intensity of radiation storms made up of charged particles.

Other events also occur on the surface of the sun. For example, as a result of violent explosions called coronal mass ejections, large amounts of solar particles are ejected into space at high velocities. The distance traveled by mass launches per second can reach 3000 kilometers.

The distance between the sun and our earth is 150 million kilometers. If we take into account that billions of particles ejected from the sun travel rapidly in space, we can understand that these particles can reach our world in a few hours.

After solar flares, the number of charged particles coming to earth increases. The natural phenomenon called northern lights is actually the fact that some of the charged particles enter the atmosphere from the earth's magnetic poles and interact with water molecules.

Structures called aurora form in our atmosphere. Under normal conditions, we can see these structures close to the North and South polar regions at 70 degrees latitude. However, this phenomenon can also occur at latitudes closer to the equator after a major launch.

If a violent solar flare and the violent magnetic field it carries with it target the earth, we may experience the apocalypse. This situation can cause serious problems on our planet. What we call magnetic storms are sudden and strong changes in magnetic field strength. It can take hours or even days.

The first to be affected by a violent solar flare targeting the Earth are artificial satellites that orbit the Earth in specific orbits and have many functions, from communications to security. Also, there could be a complete power outage in the world. We may suddenly return to medieval darkness as all power lines will be damaged.

For a solar flare to affect our planet, it has to target us directly. We may be lucky in this regard. But the ineffectiveness of our atmosphere against a powerful solar flare could cause a major catastrophe on Earth.

The last solar flare occurred in February 2022. The danger was near.

So, what do you think, what kind of social environment is created when our world is affected by solar flares?

The existence of the sun is indispensable, but also a danger. :) Thanks for the nice article.

nature has a great balance. Excess of anything is bad.
