Solar activity can also cause power outages, such as the extensive Canadian blackout in 1989.he Sun produces a solar wind â a continuous flow of charged particles â that can affect us on Earth.
Inside a boundary called the magnetopause, the earth's magnetic field is dominant over the effects of the solar wind. The small fraction of the charged particles which do leak through the magnetopause are trapped in two large doughnut-shaped rings called the Van Allen radiation belts. The solar wind was first detected directly by the spacecraft Mariner 2. It has been studied in more detail by the SOHO satellite.
