Question 123

How long does it take a coronal mass ejection to affect radio propagation on Earth?

  1. 28 days
  2. 14 days
  3. 4 to 8 minutes
  4. 15 hours to several daysBonne réponse

Explication

A coronal mass ejection is a cloud of plasma, not light, so it crosses the Sun-Earth distance at solar wind speeds of a few hundred to a couple of thousand km per second. That gives an arrival time of about 15 hours for the fastest events and up to several days for slow ones.
