Solar flares are sudden, intense bursts of energy that occur in the Sun's atmosphere. They are caused by the sudden release of magnetic energy stored in the Sun's corona. This energy release can cause a coronal mass ejection, which is a large eruption of plasma and magnetic fields from the Sun's corona.

Solar coronal mass ejections can have a variety of effects on Earth, including geomagnetic storms, auroras, and radio blackouts. Geomagnetic storms are caused by the interaction of the solar wind with Earth's magnetic field. They can cause disruptions to power grids, communications systems, and GPS navigation. Auroras are caused by the interaction of the solar wind with Earth's atmosphere. They are visible in the sky as colorful displays of light. Radio blackouts are caused by the absorption of radio waves by the ionized gas in the Earth's atmosphere. They can disrupt radio communications and navigation systems.

Aditya-L1 is an Indian satellite that was launched in 2023 to study solar coronal mass ejections. It is the first Indian satellite to be dedicated to the study of the Sun. Aditya-L1 will study the Sun's corona, which is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere. The satellite will also study the Sun's magnetic field and the solar wind.

The main goals of the Aditya-L1 mission are to study the Sun's corona, the Sun's magnetic field, and the solar wind. The mission will also study the Sun's influence on Earth's climate and space weather.

The Aditya-L1 satellite was launched on July 20, 2023.

The expected lifespan of the Aditya-L1 mission is 10 years.

The total cost of the Aditya-L1 mission is Rs. 2,000 crore.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is responsible for the Aditya-L1 mission.

The Aditya-L1 satellite carries three main instruments: the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC), the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUVI), and the Solar X-ray Imager (SXI). These instruments will study the Sun's corona, the Sun's magnetic field, and the solar wind.

The Aditya-L1 mission is expected to have a major impact on the study of solar coronal mass ejections. It will provide new insights into the causes of solar coronal mass ejections, help us to better predict solar coronal mass ejections, and help us to develop new technologies to protect Earth from the effects of solar coronal mass ejections.

Dr. K. Shivan is the principal investigator of the Aditya-L1 mission.

The ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) is the Indian ground station that will receive data from the Aditya-L1 satellite.

The Aditya-L1 satellite will orbit the Earth once per day.

The distance between the Aditya-L1 satellite and the Earth is 1.5 million kilometers.

The Aditya-L1 satellite was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
