A significant solar storm is on its way to Earth, raising alarms about potential disruptions to electronic communications and satellite operations. Dr. Annapurni Subramanian from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics,

Solar Storms are often caused by disturbances in the Sun's magnetic field, causing a massive explosion of particles, and energy Solar storms can also cause solar flares, which are bright flashes of light. Solar storms can also generate a radiation storm, or flurry of solar particles which are propelled into space at high speeds.

A solar storm is a sudden explosion of particles, energy, magnetic fields, and material that gets blasted into the solar system by the sun.
