A huge solar storm collides with our planet today

A huge storm is heading towards Earth where it is likely to hit our planet on Wednesday.

The particles of charged particles that fly into our planet can expose satellites that are strengthening the world's communication networks to chaos, disrupting energy supplies and creating a spectacular palette of Northern Lights.

The storm began last week following a massive explosion in the sun's atmosphere known as solar flare, but the solar storm lasted several days to reach Earth.

The storm coincides with "moderation distortions" in the Earth's magnetic field, which are formed within the equinoxes between March 20 and September 23 each year.

These distortions weaken our planet's natural protection against charged particles, and flights and GPS can leave the planet vulnerable to the next storm.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said in a statement that geomagnetic storms would occur on 14 and 15 March 2018, which would allow visibility of the Aurora in high latitudes, which include parts of Scotland and northern England, "For the United States including parts of Michigan and Maine.
