The Sun is extremely active right now, blasting the Earth with the biggest solar storms in 20 years .

A powerful solar storm had sent bursts of charged particles barrelling towards Earth and unleashed spectacular displays of the Northern and Southern Lights.

Solar Orbiter has been studying the Sun since 2020 on an orbit that takes it within the path of Mercury .

Nasa spacecraft Maven has been studying Mars ' atmosphere from orbit since 2014 .

It has seen the strongest solar activity it has ever seen.

Images from Curiosity Rover reveal much energy struck the Martian surface.

Venus also lacks a substantial magnetic field, but the planet does still create auroras.

The Sun continues into solar maximum, the Solar System will see more and more activity streaming from its surface.

Increased solar activity is a boon for scientists.

While all the planets witness at least some of the activity, our planet bears the brunt more than most.
