Earth comes closest to the Sun tonight, what’s the impact?

www.bicaranetwork.com – Wednesday (4/1) at midnight, Land It reaches its closest point to the sun, known as perihelion.

Quoted from Live scienceUnited States Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) revealed, at perihelion this year the earth will orbit 91.4 million miles (147 million kilometers) from the sun.

So what is the impact on earth?

United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) call there will be geomagnetic storm light in some places Land.

These storms do not harm land but can disrupt radio transmissions and temporarily cripple power grids in high-latitude areas.

The perturbation is caused by the impact of slow-moving clusters of solar particles called coronal mass ejection (CME) in a magnetic field Land.

The geomagnetic storm will also launch colorful auroras further south than usual, possibly as far away as Michigan and Maine in the United States. The aurora would put on a beautiful cosmic light show if it could be seen.

Meanwhile, the Space Research Center of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) said perihelion will not affect Earth’s temperature. BRIN Space Research Center researcher Andi Pangerang explained that at perihelion the Sun’s declination angle (the deviation of the Sun’s position at noon from the projection of the equator on the celestial sphere) ranges from -22° to -23° .
