Well cool consequences of solar winds are aurora near by the poles! Satellite-based communication and geomagnetic storm near the poles are then the main disruptive effects caused by solar winds on planet earth 😉
Solar winds contain high energy particles which cause changes in the magnetic field of the earth when they collide which can cause problems with electrical equipment.
Not my area of expertise at all but apprently the solar wind can have a large influence on our ionosphere (the uppermost part of the atmosphere), Earth’s magnetic field and Earth’s auroras (light phenomenon that generally ahppes round the poles). It can also affect our telecommunication systems by causing damage to satellites e.g:
A solar wind is a highly magnetically charged high energy wind. They can disrupt satellite communication and cause the occasional geomagnetic storm at the poles that is about the most we get. We can also see them in passing comets and the Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis.
