A statement issued by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Russian Academy of Sciences also said: “As a rule, such short explosions on the Sun do not lead to plasma emissions that reach the Earth and affect its magnetosphere, although the first videos taken from orbit appear to show an upward movement of matter from the center of the explosion, so it is possible that some solar material has leaked into interplanetary space, but the chances of it colliding with the Earth from the observed angle are still very small, and the geomagnetic effectiveness of the event is estimated at “It’s initially low.”

Solar flares are divided into five categories according to the intensity of the X-rays they emit: A, B, C, M, and

These flares lead to magnetic storms that may cause disruption in energy systems, affect the migration paths of birds and animals, and may also affect the operation of communications and navigation systems on Earth.
