Can We Survive The Solar Storm???

What is solar storm? 

At this current world, we all must have heard about the solar storm ,which will affect Earth in the upcoming years.

Would you think that, although you probably don't see or hear any of the aforementioned phenomena, the Earth is periodically struck by solar storms?
The phrase "solar storm" refers to the atmospheric consequences that some Sun-related occurrences have on Earth. Most likely, when you think of the Sun, you picture a bright, unchanging light. Actually, it's a colossal sphere of molten gasses in continuous motion.
Massive energy eruptions from the Sun, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, are what cause solar storms. A stream of magnetic fields and electrical charges is hurled at Earth by these occurrences at a speed of roughly three million miles per hour.

How may Earth be impacted by solar activity?
Radio blackout storms on Earth can be caused by large solar flares.
Spacecraft circling Earth and astronauts may be at danger due to the solar storm.
The magnetosphere of Earth may be struck by the solar storm, causing currents to flow into Earth's electrical systems. Power grids are susceptible at this time and can result in significant outages. 

Should we worry about solar storm:

A strong solar flare burst from the sun's surface on January 6. In around two months, it was the first flare of the strongest kind, known as the X-class, on the flare intensity scale. Within the next few days, there were two more X-class flares, signaling a noticeable increase in solar activity and raising hysterical fears that we on Earth might be in danger. A newspaper in the United Kingdom suggested that there would be "major continent-wide power blackouts." The title on another outlet said, "Terrifying solar storm coming to Earth."
Scientists that research "space weather," including heliophysicists, caution that solar eruptions like flares can disrupt power systems and raise radiation levels for those living in space habitats and high-altitude aircraft.

How can we prevent solar storms?
It is pretty nearly impossible for us humans to stop solar storms or even protect our planet from their impacts. Power grids and computer equipment, on the other hand, might be turned off and shielded from an event's worst consequences with ample notice; they could only be turned back on after the storm has passed.

I believe in our human beings, who can find solution to any problem, to get solution for this problem too. Hope we overcome this solar storm.
