One notable effect of geomagnetic storms is the enhancement of the aurora, the colorful luminous display observed near the poles. Solar flares, intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation, also stem from the sun's magnetic field undergoing stress and twisting. When a CME interacts with Earth, it can induce a geomagnetic storm, disrupting our planet's magnetic field and atmosphere. During a geomagnetic storm, these particles penetrate deeper into the atmosphere, resulting in brighter and more expansive auroras. This collision could provoke a geomagnetic storm, potentially enhancing the aurora and allowing for its visibility at lower latitudes.
