India, Sept. 15 -- Earth is being hit by numerous solar storms that could interrupt power grids and communication systems. These storms arise from surges of plasma from the sun's outer layer, which disturb Earth's magnetic field for a time. The most recent geomagnetic storm, a G3, began to affect Earth late Sunday evening, followed by a G2 event on Monday, as per Daily Mail.

Geomagnetic storms can be classified by intensity levels, with G1 being minor and G5 being extreme. These storms occur due to solar winds or coronal mass ejections (CMEs) colliding with Earth's magnetic field, disturbing Earth's magnetic field.

A G3 storm affected Earth late Sunday night, and a G2 storm is typically moderate. G1 and G2 storms disturb Earth's magneti...
