Description: A Coronal Mass Ejection
(b) Two to 4 days later, the highest-energy gases from the ejection reach 1 AU. If they come our way, most
particles are deflected by Earth’s magnetic field (blue). However, as shown, some particles leak Earthward,
causing aurorae, disrupting radio communications and electric power transmission, damaging satellites, and
ejecting some of Earth’s atmosphere into interplanetary space
