Is the Sun's Fart Dangerous?
The Sun blasts out powerful solar flares and radiation, which could destroy satellites and disrupt power on Earth. But luckily, Earth’s magnetic field acts like a shield, blocking most of the danger!
Venus and Mercury aren’t so lucky. Mercury’s weak magnetic field can’t protect it, and Venus has almost none at all. That’s why their atmospheres get stripped away or turn into toxic, burning hellscapes.
