1044 Words5 Pages
The Sun brings the Earth many advantages like warmth and lights. But also, the Sun cause disadvantages to the Earth too. One of big disadvantages is caused by solar storm. Satellites around the Earth might break when super strong solar storm occurred, and people’s life will be very hard without satellites.
Solar storm occurs when the magnetic power that was stored up for a while suddenly released. It is also known as “Solar flares”. And according to computer simulation, when the strong solar storm occurred and the Sun released fierce energy and particles, high-energy electrons that are about speed of light might flood into the air. Satellites that are under low-earth orbit - also known as LEO- but they are not made to endure to super strong solar wind. So, those satellites might break or some problems will occur. And people’s life will be affected by the breakdown of satellites. There are many types of satellites under LEO, and I’ll explain about 5 satellites that are used in our daily life. Weather satellites are used for weather forecast, and to know environment of the Earth. Positioning satellites are used for machines that tells humans where they are such as Global Positioning System :GPS: and car navigation. Science satellites are very important for scientists who studies about outside of the Earth. Also they use it to see extraterrestrial biological entity. Telecommunication satellites are used for satellite broadcasting and satellite circuit/satellite channel.
