electrical systems in satellites will fail

Answer 1

Scientists predict that the following might happen due to solar flares:

• power grid operations will go offline
• high-frequency radio waves used for radio communication will be blocked
• radio navigation systems and global positioning systems will be inaccurate
• electrical systems in satellites will fail

All of these responses are accurate predictions regarding the potential effects of solar flares.

Answer 2

Pick 1 that is most correct

Answer 3

While all the responses are correct and can occur due to solar flares, the one that is often highlighted as a significant impact is:

power grid operations will go offline.

This response captures a major concern since solar flares can induce geomagnetic storms that affect the power grid, potentially leading to widespread outages and disruptions.
