Sunspots arise as a result of magnetic activity in the sun, and their temperature is usually lower than the surface temperature of the sun.
These spots, which appear in the most active years of the sun, release what is known as the solar wind, which carries plasma and particles into space, knowing that plasma is an ionic gas consisting of electrically charged particles.
The British newspaper “Daily Mail” reported that the dead sunspot called “AR2987”, released solar winds moving at a speed of millions of kilometers per hour.
It was believed that this spot was dead and no longer active, but this matter turned out to be inaccurate, especially since its explosion occurred on Monday.
When these winds reach the Earth’s magnetic field, they will collide with it, causing the green aurora.
This time, the aurora will appear outside the polar regions, such as Michigan and Maine in America, northern Britain, such as Scotland, and parts of northern England.
An elevated level of solar flare can lead to what is known as a Category G1 magnetic storm.
The newspaper said that this storm will lead to some fluctuations in the power grids, as well as a limited disruption of the GPS signal.
