A giant sunspot on the solar surface is set to explode, weather experts have revealed. The large sunspot is almost directly facing Earth, which means there’s a high likelihood of solar flares hitting Earth and causing a solar storm. The experts at SpaceWeather.com said: “Behemoth sunspot AR3112 is poised to explode. “Any eruptions will be geoeffective as the sunspot is almost directly facing Earth.” An M-class flare is considered medium strength and if one hits Earth it can cause brief radio blackouts around our planet’s poles. X-class flares are much stronger and can cause planet-wide radio blackouts. They can also cause long-lasting solar storms. Solar flares are bursts of radiation from the Sun that sometimes hit Earth or shoot elsewhere in space. Nasa explains: “A solar flare is an intense burst of radiation coming from the release of magnetic energy associated with sunspots.” endtimeheadlines.org/2022/10/developing-huge-sunspot-ready-to-explode-x-flare-already-produced-radio-blackouts/
