Hi Luchito. I think you mean "Sun Storm". We say "solar storm" or "solar flare". And yes, they are real. They have happened periodically throughout the earth's history with varying intensity.

A solar storm happens on the Earth and is caused by a sudden conversion of the energy stored in the form of a magnetic field into heath and atomic particles kinetic energy in areas near the 'sunspots'; such an energy conversion is an extremely fast event (therefore powerful), and is known as 'sun flare'; the particles are ejected with a preferred direction, and sometimes the direction is towards planet Earth, which is reached after a time varying from 15 minutes (half the speed of light) to 3-4 days. On the Earth, in the ionosphere, radio communications in the various frequencies might be facilitated or partially blocked, depending on the detailed action of the ionizing particles. The major problems are faced by astronauts above the Earth's atmosphere that provide a good shelter from fast protons and other particles; the astronauts, until now don't have a shelter where to take repair. The solar flares are directly linked to the sunspots, a periodic phenomenon, whose cycle is 11 or 22 years (depending on how it is counted). The first man to observe the sunspots has been the Italian physicist Galileo Galilei, in the summer of 1612; Galilei had extremely hard times proving their reality (on the surface of the Sun) and their movement, as their existence implied that one of God's most impressive creatures (the Sun) was far from perfection. Warning: doubting of the existence of sunspots, sun flares and sun storms, is in line with common knowledge before year 1612 in central Europe.

luchito quisiste decir sun storm o la tormenta solar? Estamos en plena primavera y la tormenta solar nos quema hasta los huesos. Como crees tu que sera en el verano? Crees que nos lleve la chingada a todos en este a~o Maya?

Thank you Senor Luchito, for reading my report!

Sun storm? Yes it is real
