A solar storm starts with an eruption of super-hot gas travelling out from the sun at speeds of up to 5m miles an hour. Electrically charged particles hit earth’s atmosphere 20 to 30 hours later, causing electromagnetic havoc.

So the earth is somewhere between 100 to 150 miles (5m X 20h or 30h) away from the sun?

He}} if I know, but you missed the “m” for MILLION. Put that MILLION back in the equation and the answer will make more sense.
