How do magnetic storms affect people? Are they dangerous?

0

Magnetic Storms or Geomagnetic Storms are caused by magnetic reconnection in the Earth’s Magnetosphere, this reconnection is from a disturbances in the Magnetic Field. The Magnetosphere is the Earths protection from the Sun, a constant stream of energetic particles (known as Solar Wind) is deflected or absorbed by the Magnetic Field and keeps the surface safe. CME’s and Solar Flares from the Sun causes these type of Magnetosphere disturbances. The Ionosphere during these disturbances can cause power surge’s and take out terrestrial power grids, due to rogue electrical static in the Ionosphere. Satellites and Astronauts can be in danger from CME’s but most CME’s are slow in travelling and can take days to reach the Earth, this is plenty of time to put the Satellites into safe mode, and Astronauts into a safe place. Solar CME’s and Flares are unpredictable to the day, Astrophysicists can predict what might happen due to the disturbances in the Sun’s magnetic Field and the production of S
