Scientists predict that due to solar flares, the following might happen:
- High-frequency radio waves used for radio communication will be blocked.
- Radio navigation systems and global positioning systems will be inaccurate.
- Power grid operations will go offline.
- Electrical systems in satellites will fail.
All of these responses are potential impacts of solar flares. Solar flares can disrupt various forms of communication and navigation systems, affect power grids, and potentially damage satellite electronics.
