The sun is still likely to have strong bursts of activity.

Magnetic activity may occur on November 6th, possibly resulting in a small geomagnetic storm.

And a moderate geomagnetic storm may occur on the 7th.

What is geomagnetic storm?

Geomagnetic storm is a typical solar flare activity. When the sun erupts, a coronal mass ejection will occur, and a single ejection can launch billions of tons of solar matter at high speeds of hundreds to thousands of meters per second away from the

Han Dayang, a senior engineer at the Space Weather Technology Research and Development Office of the National Space Weather Monitoring and Warning Center of the China Meteorological Administration, said, Geomagnetic storms are invisible and impercept

These substances not only carry the kinetic energy formed by the combination of massive mass and speed, but also carry the powerful magnetic energy of the sun. Once they hit the Earth, they will cause changes in the direction and magnitude of the Ear

Geomagnetic storm warning levels are divided into four levels from low to high: blue, yellow, orange, and red.

Solar flares, as intense energy explosions on the surface of the sun, are classified into five levels: A, B, C, M, and X, with Level A indicating the lowest energy and Level X the highest.

Geomagnetic storms can be divided into the following levels:

Does geomagnetic storms cause drowsiness?

What impact does it have on life?

Previously, topics such as solar flares and geomagnetic storms have frequently trending on search engines and sparked discussions. Some netizens have expressed that geomagnetic storms have had more or less impact on their physical health.

I'm so sleepy recently, I want to sleep whenever I have time. I found the reason why I can't sleep. Is it normal to be not only sleepy but also addicted to food? I found the reason why I can't wake up... The search terms of geomagnetic storm and slee

Experts respond that even if there is a large flare and super geomagnetic storm of X-class in May 2024, the general public may not feel it strongly, it will not affect their health, and there is no need for special protection.

Zhang Bin, director of the Sleep Research Lab at Southern Medical University's Southern Hospital and chief physician of the psychiatry department, told reporters that there aren't many patients who come to the clinic because of magnetic storm-induced

Han Wenbiao, a researcher at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told reporters that there is no relevant research showing that solar flares can cause headaches or insomnia. During periods of strong solar flare a
