Q. Auroras, typically seen in high-latitude regions, were recently seen in Ladakh. The appearance of auroras at lower latitudes like Ladakh suggests:
Answer: C
Notes:
Explanation – Auroras at lower latitudes are often due to increased solar activity, such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which can expand the auroral oval and make auroras visible further from the poles. Such solar activity can affect satellite operations and other technologies on Earth, making accurate predictions crucial for mitigating potential disruptions to satellite-based services.
