Can solar flares mess with GPS?
Yes, solar flares can throw GPS off, making your navigation gadgets do a cosmic dance.
Solar flares emit bursts of charged particles and radiation that can interfere with the satellites' signals your GPS relies on. When these solar tantrums hit Earth, your GPS might slow down, become inaccurate, or temporarily fail. So, yes, mother nature can mess with your GPS’s mojo, and no, it’s not a glitch in your phone.
