The Impact of Space Weather on Earth's Technology
Introduction
Space weather, driven by solar activity, has the potential to impact Earth's technological infrastructure in significant ways. The interaction between the Sun and Earth's magnetic field can lead to geomagnetic storms, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which can disrupt satellite communications, power grids, and navigation systems. This article examines the impact of space weather on Earth's technology, the potential vulnerabilities, and the measures taken to mitigate these effects.
