Hugh M Eye User ID: 11898933 United States 03/04/2012 11:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I find conflicting info regarding the travel time from sun to earth atmosphere, anywhere from 9mins to 9hrs to a couple of days, can anyone clear this up for me thanks. Quoting: MzTreeChick Hello, i couldn't find the link I wanted right away so I'll paraphrase. A flare consists of X-rays, light (photons), and gamma rays, and it reaches Earth at light-speed (about 8 or 9 mins). Next accelerated charged particles (mostly protons) arrive near Earth in approx. 1 hour. A CME, or coronal mass ejection, is a cloud of plasma mass which takes a 2-4 days to arrive depending on its velocity. Flares only have a defined scale of C,M, or X. CMEs do not have any defined scale and each one has unique characteristics. I hope this helps. |

Personally, I think they may reassess this when the data and NASA's day shift comes in. The new Cygnet model shows a complete miss of Earth. The earlier one showed a glancing blow from the 1st CME.
