What is a magnetic storm?
Magnetic storms are the reaction of the magnetosphere to sudden shocks and pressure from the solar wind. The Earth's magnetic shield simply begins to tremble and oscillate due to solar flares, which affects the entire Earth's field and, accordingly, people. They last from several hours to several days, and their intensity directly affects our well-being and mood.
