Mars sized sunspot could disrupt communication on Earth

A large sunspot- about the size of Mars has been recorded. This sun spot is so big that the solar flames that emanate from it can cause damage to the earth. These solar flares can disrupt the communication system of the earth. Satellite communication may be affected. There may be problems in navigation etc. i.e. problems can arise in air and sea traffic.

Scientists have recognized that every 11 years, many changes occur on the surface of the sun. It was quiet for the last 11 years. But now there is a stir in it. Recently a big spot has been seen in the sun.

These huge spots are called sunspots. The problem is that this big sunspot is seen moving towards our earth. Solar flares emanating from this sunspot can cause problems for the earth.

This sunspot has been named AR2770. In the coming days, its size may become bigger. According to Spaceweather.com report, a lot of small flames have already come out of this sunspot.

As soon as it moves towards the earth, this sunspot has created a wave of ionization in the Earth’s atmosphere. But no major incident has happened so far.

Sunspots that form on the sun are dark spots that are much colder than stars formed in space. But their magnetic fields are so much that they emit vast amounts of energy. This energy looks like a solar flame or solar flare.

Solar flares are also known as Solar Storm or Coronal Mass Ejection. Sometimes the size of the sunspot is also 50 thousand kilometers in diameter. From inside it, a bubble of hot plasma of the sun comes out. The explosion of which leads to solar flares.

The first photo of this spot AR2770 found in the sun was taken by amateur astronomer Martin Wise, who lives in Florida, USA. This spot is equal to the size Mars. There are many spots inside it as well. Which looks like pits on the surface of the moon.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) states that these solar storms can cause changes in the electromagnetic current flowing in space. Also, in the electromagnetic field around the earth, electrons or protons can increase or decrease. This may affect the communication system of the Earth.
