G-5 solar storms can induce geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in power transmission lines, potentially causing widespread blackouts.
Solar storms can interfere with satellite communications and disrupt radio transmissions, impacting telecommunications networks and navigation systems.
Solar storms can increase the levels of radiation in the Earth's atmosphere, posing a risk to sensitive electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and medical equipment.
Disruptions to communication and navigation systems could affect transportation networks, including air travel, maritime shipping, and ground transportation.
In regions closer to the Earth's poles, G-5 solar storms can lead to dazzling auroras, visible even in some parts of India during extreme events.
