A strong solar storm is on its way to Earth tomorrow, Saturday

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Ammar Al-Sakkji, President of the Jordanian Astronomical Society</strong> , said that as a result of solar activity that occurred a few days ago, the large sunspot, known as <span>AR3664,</span> threw five coronal mass masses towards Earth in a large way, according to the Solar Energy and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), in addition to models of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The American study indicates that these coronal masses will merge, which will increase the intensity of geomagnetic storms when they interact with the Earth&#39;s magnetic field.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%A7%... also:</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%A7%... the largest solar storm, 14,300 years old, through tree rings</a> </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%A9%20%D8%B4%D9%85%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9%20%D9%82%D9%88%D9%8A%D8%A9%20%D9%81%D9%8A%20%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82%D9%87%D8%A7%20%D9%84%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%B6%20%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%85%20%D8%BA%D8%AF%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%A8%D8%AA.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 600px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> What is the effect of a solar storm on planet Earth and humans?</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> It is expected that the impact of these magnetic storms will reach during the next two days, especially tomorrow, Saturday, and their magnitude will be of the third degree (G3), and may rise to the fourth degree <span>(G4)</span> if all five coronal emissions merge, leading to the appearance of the aurora borealis at medium latitudes.
