Scientists from the Institute of Applied Geophysics have revealed that a "G4 level magnetic storm (very strong) has been recorded on Earth over the past 24 hours." According to monitoring results, the Earth's magnetic field disturbance is currently at level 4. This could lead to disruptions in low-frequency wireless navigation via satellites, and the aurora could be visible in the equatorial region.
Magnetic storms are disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field caused by solar flares. They are classified into 5 levels or degrees, from the weakest G1 to the strongest G5, and a magnetic storm can last from a few hours to several days.
It is worth noting that magnetic storms and the aurora phenomenon result from the impact of solar wind particles on the upper layers of the atmosphere. Consequently, residents of central Russia and the city of Moscow were able to witness the aurora due to solar activity on Sunday, April 23rd.
