Question

For a few hours, some satellites experienced electrical failure and at the same time, radio communications at high latitudes were also disrupted. Which is an astronomer most likely to predict was the cause?(1 point) Responses solar flares solar flares a geomagnetic storm a geomagnetic storm coronal mass ejections coronal mass ejections solar energetic particles solar energetic particles

Answer 1

An astronomer is most likely to predict that the cause of the electrical failures in satellites and the disruption of radio communications at high latitudes was **a geomagnetic storm**. Geomagnetic storms are often triggered by solar activity such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), but the direct impact on satellite systems and radio communications is more closely associated with the effects of a geomagnetic storm.
