Earth due to heavy storms on the sun for a few months could remain without power, without the support of satellites, and air traffic would be able to stop, warn scientists. A strong eruption of energy caused by solar storms sent waves toward the Earth, which are used for aircraft navigation or communication for mobile.The problem of weather conditions in the universe should be taken seriously.Since we've become dependent on technologies that depend on the support of satellites, solar storms in future could be very dangerous.Strongest solar storm in the last four years was recorded on 14 February of this year.The sun has entered a new cycle of activity, whose peak is expected 2013th year.The last time we took the maximum of solar cycle, ten years ago, the world was a different place.We were less dependent on mobile phones than it is today.The sun passes through its active cycle approximately every 11 years. The last peak occurred in 2001. , and then it was pretty weak, but it lasted longer. A solar flare 1972nd was interrupted by the international phone lines in Illinois. A similar thing happened to 1989. , when the solar flare caused a "geomagnetic storm that disrupted electric power transmission" in the Canadian province of Quebec.
There are three known types of solar flares:
-X-class flares marked the strongest eruptions of the Sun,
-Class M (medium power, but still powerful),
-Class C, indicating the weakest type of solar storms.
