Solar Storms Are Mainly Caused by Activity on Which Celestial Body?

Do you know which celestial body is mainly responsible for solar storms that can disrupt satellites, GPS, and communication systems?

✅ Answer: The Sun.

Solar storms originate from the Sun due to intense solar activity, particularly solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These events release vast amounts of charged particles and electromagnetic radiation into space. When directed toward Earth, they can interfere with satellites, GPS navigation, radio communications, and power grids.
