Damage and beautiful sights

Q: How much damage and beautiful sights can space weather cause?
A: For us there isn't much harm done. That's because of  Earth's magnetic field. But to the things inspace like astronnauts, aircraft, and such, the energetic particles are able to damage that sort of stuff. It also shortens their life spans, and destroy their satelights, aircraft and any other things they have up there with them.

You already know that Earth weather can destroy many things on Earth like, homes, disrupt lives, etc. Well space weather has that power in a different way. It damages satalights, affects our communication and power systems, therefore still disrupting our lives.

Space weather is important though. It is important to our national economy because the storms out there can affect our recent, advanced technology that we depend on everyday in life. But space weather can create some beautiful stuff as well. Like the auroras or also known as the northern lights, and night shining clouds.

Space weather's affection

Q: How does space weather affect Earth?
A: Usually you would think the news would show all weather, but there is space weather that they don't ever talk about even just for fun. Space weather is one of the things that affects our communication, and transportation. So when you are talking to yourself saying, "Dang my phone isn't working as fast as it usually does!" It could be space weather that is disturbing your phone.

The radiation getsblocked form the Earth by Earth's magnetic field. One reason that space weather does not get to touch Earth's ground is because of the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is surroundingg the Earth's magnetic field. Solar wind it the result of the magnetosphere's shape. It drags the night side of the magnetisphere about 1000 times the Earth's radius.

Space weather does not just affect people's stuff on the ground, it also has the affect to harm or damage airplane and ship navigation systems. It can casue power blackouts as well. The ionised particles of a space storm can disturb the magnetism on earth and cause surges of power cables to criss-cross throughout the country.

Space weather

Q: What is space weather?
A: Space weather is the concept of changing environmental conditions in near-earth space. Also it can be the space from the sun's atmosphere to the Earth's atmosphere and the magnetic field. The term "space weather" also is refered by changes in interplanetary space.

Space weather is one thing that iss driven by energy carried through the universe by the solar winds from places near the Earth and Sun's surface. It is one thing that will jack with the connections, rockets, and astronauts. Sometimes astronauts loose their lives from space storms.

Space weather, according to scientists, is never changing conditions in space. It has two different focal points. Scientific research, which is what scientist found and applications. Space weather forms these things called the northern lights. They are beautiful traces of light you can only see from specific places on the Earth.
