Scientists believe that the earth will be hit with a solar storm in the near future as the sun reaches it peak in its cycle. Some believe that satellite communications and power grids can be severely effected or knocked out completely.

Will earth be destroyed by a solar storm of the Sun in 2013?
Earth wasn't destroyed by the Sun in the last few billions of years, so probably no.
How are solar explosions important?
By you meaning solar storms, they very important because the solar storm activates a lot of solar photons into space and sending it to Earth, giving it the neccesities for life on it. By other means more solar power for us..
Can solar storm kill us?
No, Solar storms usually disrupt with our electronics.
How do sunspots and solar flares impact earth?
It is called a magnetic storm. What happens is during solar flares, sun throws out some high energy particles, and at speed that take a few hours sometimes to reach earth. Earth, thank God, has a magnetic field and this is what protects us all. Mars does not have this any more for example. Northern and Southern lights are cause by the particles reacting with rarefied gasses in the very upper reaches of the atmosphere, and depending of the gas, nitrogen, oxygen, etc., they produce the colors. High altitudes, as satellite and high flying aircraft, it can destroy electronic equipment by the currents they can produce. It is also not good for astronauts, and pilots that stay at high altitudes for extended periods and when a solar storm approaches, they protect themselves in special shielded areas of the ISS. High altitude jets are usually flown at much lower altitudes if a severe solar storm will hit the earth. Main impact on earth is the power grid, as they do cause current leakage and can cause complete blackouts which have happened in the past. Solar flares (normally exit at cool areas on the sun as sunspots) do impact the earth if the earth happens to be in the direction of the solar storm. Solar storms are very directional and do not go out in all directions as the sun´s light.
During which years do you think electrical disturbances on earth were most common?
A large solar storm occurred in 1859, and this caused electrical disturbances to the satellites. There are seasons and patterns to the solar storms, and the Sun's activity is picking up again.
Whats threats are there to earth from outer space?
The earth has several possible threats from outer space. Some of those threats are comets, asteroids, and large solar flares.
When did the solar storm happen?
1904 it caused storms on earth
Is a Solar Storm dangerous?
A solar storm can be dangerous only if it reaches Earth's surface! Ozone should protect us, but it probobly will not this time.
When did the largest solar storm happen?
1904 it caused storms on earth
Can a Solar Storm make the dark side of the earth seem like it's the day?
No
Which planet in the solar system has a huge storm system that is the size of the earth?
Jupiter... The storm can fit 2-3 earths inside.

Can you prevent a solar storm from happeneing?
No. There is not way we can stop or influence a solar storm.

Earth wasn't destroyed by the Sun in the last few billions of years, so probably no.
How does Aurora borealis affect the earth?
the Aurora Borealis is an side effect of a solar storm, it does not directly affect the earth. (I'm a astronomy student)
Will a solar storm affect solar panels?
the answer is no
