Storm

A storm is any disturbed state of an environment or astronomical body's atmosphere especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying severe weather. It may be marked by significant disruptions to normal conditions such as strong wind, hail, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation (snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain (ice storm), strong winds (tropical cyclone, windstorm), or wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere as in a dust storm, blizzard, sandstorm, etc.

Storms generally lead to negative impacts on lives and property such as storm surge, heavy rain or snow (causing flooding or road impassibility), lightning, wildfires, and vertical wind shear; however, systems with significant rainfall can alleviate drought in places they move through. Heavy snowfall can allow special recreational activities to take place which would not be possible otherwise, such as skiing and snowmobiling.

The English word comes from Proto-Germanic *sturmaz meaning "noise, tumult".

--- ABDH Media - Space --- Solar storms are caused by disturbances on the Sun, most often coronal clouds associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) produced by solar flares emanating from active sunspot regions, or less often from coronal holes. Most living stars produce disturbances in space weather with the field of heliophysics the science that studies such phenomena; itself primarily an interdisciplinary combination of stellar astronomy and planetary science. In the Solar System, the Sun can produce intense geomagnetic and proton storms capable of causing severe damage to technology including but not limited to large scale power power outages, disruption or blackouts of radio communications (including GPS systems), and temporary or permanent disabling of satellites and other spaceborne technology. Intense solar storms may also be hazardous to high-latitude, high-altitude aviation and to human spaceflight.[1] Geomagnetic storms are the cause of auroras.[2] The most significant known solar storm occurred in September 1859 and is known as the "Carrington event".[3] The damage from the most potent solar storms is capable of threatening the stability of modern human civilization. *Subscribe for more Educative & Space Documentaries (Like & Share) * Visit our website: http://www.advexon.com * ABDH Media Documentaries: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHx69kZbXbX6WgMq_njRvFA *NOVA | PBS Documentaries (HD): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYMWnCecPvpQJj8sBPUi4bA #ABDH #space #spacedocumentary #AlienPlanets #NEWFullScienceDocumentaries #SpaceDocumentary2015 #alien #spacedocumentarynationalgeographic #spacedocumentaryhd #spacedocumentarybbc #spacedocumentary2015hd #spacedocumentaryplaylist #spacedocumentarynationalgeographic2015 #spacedocumentaryblackholes #spacedocumentaryforkids #spacedocumentaryalienplanets #spacedocumentaryasteroidthedoomsdayrock #spacedocumentary2015aliens #aspaceodysseydocumentary #spacedocumentaryblackholesfdc #spacedocumentarybriancox #spacedocumentarybest #spacedocumentarybbc2015 #spacedocumentaryblacksky #spacedocumentarybigbang #bestspacedocumentary2015 #spacedocumentarycosmos #spacedocumentaryconspiracy #spacedocumentarychannel #spacedocumentarychildren #discoverychanneldocumentaryspace #spacecolonizationdocumentary #spaceshuttlechallengerdocumentary #spacetimecontinuumdocumentary #historychanneldocumentaryspace #spacedocumentarydiscoverychannel #spacedocumentarydarkmatter #spacedocumentarydiscovery #deepspacedocumentary #deepspacedocumentary2015 #spacedisastersdocumentary #spacedivedocumentary #spaceshuttledisasterdocumentary #davidattenboroughspacedocumentary #spaceelevatordocumentary #spaceexplorationdocumentary2015 #earthfromspacedocumentary #spaceexplorationdocumentary2015 #spaceengineeringdocumentary #edgeofspacedocumentary #emptyspacedocumentary #spacedocumentaryforchildren #spacedocumentaryfilms #spacedocumentaryfull #spacedocumentaryfulllength #spacedocumentaryfuture #spacedocumentaryfunny #2015spacedocumentaryfull #spacedocumentarygalaxies #spacedocumentarygravity #spaceuniversegalaxydocumentary #spacedocumentarynationalgeographic2015 #spacetraveldocumentarynationalgeographic #spacedocumentarynationalgeographichd #spacedocumentaryhd2015 #spacedocumentaryhd1080p #spacedocumentaryinhd

Solar Storms: 10 Hottest Facts

Solar Storms: 10 Hottest Facts
Our Sun is located 24-26,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. It circles the galaxy every 225-250,000 years, at a speed of 220 kilometers per second. The sun is a medium size star, a Yellow Dwarf, G type main sequence. It’s about one million times the size of planet Earth. Core temperature:15,000,000 °C. Surface temperature: 5,500 °C. The sun emits a steady stream of charged particles, the solar wind, at 450 km per second. It increases in strength during active periods, every 11 years or so. Active periods are marked by an increase in sunspots. Sunspots are Earth-sized regions where intense magnetic fields prevent hot gas from reaching the surface, driving temperatures down to around 4,000°C. They often correspond to active regions. Where magnetic activity drives the formation of coronal loops, or prominences. Solar flares. And Solar tsunamis, technically “fast-mode magnetohydrodynamical waves.” In February 2009, the Stereo spacecraft detected one that rose to 100,000 km high, and raced outward at 250 kilometers per second. It was associated with an eruption of gas and magnetic fields called a coronal mass ejection. A CME can blast a billion tons of matter out at 10 to 12 million kilometers per hour. A CME sends a pulse of solar plasma to the limits of the solar system, where it can impact planets or spacecraft. We see its arrival in spectacular aurora. They form when solar particles rain down on Earth’s atmosphere, causing oxygen and nitrogen atoms to glow.
