Solar storm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Template:Short description A solar storm is a disturbance on the Sun, which can emanate outward across the heliosphere, affecting the entire Solar System, including Earth and its magnetosphere, and is the cause of space weather in the short-term with long-term patterns comprising space climate.[1][2]
Types
Solar storms include:
- Solar flare, a large explosion in the Sun's atmosphere caused by tangling, crossing or reorganizing of magnetic field lines
- Coronal mass ejection (CME), a massive burst of plasma from the Sun, sometimes associated with solar flares
- Geomagnetic storm, the interaction of the Sun's outburst with Earth's magnetic field
- Solar particle event (SPE), proton or energetic particle (SEP)
