If a solar flare is exceptionally powerful, it can cause coronal mass ejections. The proton storms are produced in the solar wind, and hence present a hazard to 2005 event, they may have as little as 15 minutes to do so. focuses on the powerful magnetic fields thought to be the source of solar flares.

In today's terminology one might say that the intense field of sunspots was likely to lead to sudden releases of magnetic energy, manifested by flares and coronal mass ejections, and those in their turn sent out fast interplanetary plasma clouds whose shock fronts caused magnetic storms.

Sunspots, dark areas on the solar surface, contain strong magnetic fields that are constantly shifting. Solar flares are intense, short-lived releases of The aurora is a dynamic and visually delicate manifestation of solar-induced geomagnetic storms. The solar wind energizes electrons and ions in the magnetosphere.

The scales describe the environmental disturbances for three event types: geomagnetic storms, solar radiation storms, and radio blackouts. The scales have numbered levels, Power systems: high-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms, long-duration storms may cause transformer damage.

In many ways, they actually are more noxious than the more familiar solar flares. CMEs pummel Earth's magnetic field like a sledgehammer 1 million miles wide and upset the delicate balances of trapped particles in the Van Allen radiation belts and elsewhere within the boundaries of Earth's magnetic field.
