The frequency drifts from higher to lower values because it depends on the electron density, and the shock propagates outward away from the Sun through lower and lower densities. By using a model for the Sun's atmospheric density, the frequency drift rate can then be used to estimate the speed of the shock wave.
CMEs usually take about three days to reach Earth after departing the Sun. The SWPC rates solar storms on a five-level scale , with five being the most extreme and rarest space weather conditions.
NASA says the sun is in the highly active "maximum phase" of its 11-year solar cycle.. That means there will probably be big solar storms bringing beautiful aurora in the next year or so. Solar ...

Note the many solar prominences ejecting from the sun. From 1900 to 2100, the state of New Hampshire will have recorded a total of 78 solar eclipses, two of which are annular eclipses and four of which are total eclipses. One of the annular solar eclipses occurred on May 10, 1994, and the other will occur on July 23, 2093.
Although the solar corona is a source of extreme ultraviolet and X-ray radiation, these rays make up only a very small amount of the power output of the Sun (see spectrum at right). The spectrum of nearly all solar electromagnetic radiation striking the Earth's atmosphere spans a range of 100 nm to about 1 mm (1,000,000 nm).

World map showing the areas of Earth receiving daylight around 13:00 UTC in April. Daylight is the combination of all direct and indirect sunlight during the daytime.This includes direct sunlight, diffuse sky radiation, and (often) both of these reflected by Earth and terrestrial objects, like landforms and buildings.
