Sunspots are monitored by region of sun and number of spots. ]]> 2017-12-06 18:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213836079 bakerd3 https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213839733 A CME is an ejection of huge amounts of matter from the sun's corona.

Measured by extreme ultraviolet in pictures. ]]> 2017-12-06 18:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213842553 bakerd3 https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213845188 Solar Flares are short outbursts of energy stored in twisted magnetic fields. Solar Flares are monitored by various GOES satellites. ]]> 2017-12-06 18:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213845188 bakerd3 https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213848701 Solar wind is a continuous outward stream of particles released from the sun's hot corona. Solar wind is measured by a few of NASA's satellites. ]]> 2017-12-06 18:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213848701 bakerd3 https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213956364 The magnetic field around Earth stretches far into space, at least 37,000 miles. The Bt value represents the strength while the Bz value represents the orientation of incoming magnetic fields. ]]> 2017-12-07 01:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213956364 bakerd3 https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213957163 Geomagnetic storms are the result of too many particles enter our geomagnetic field. This causes major problems with satellites and even our electrical grid. KP index is used to measure the strength of the storm, giving us vital time to brace for impact. ]]> 2017-12-07 01:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bakerd3/9t1hhrbtcoa0/wish/213957163
