NASA satellites detected a plasma hurricane 10 times longer than the Earth's vortex rising from the surface of the Sun, with the moment the video was captured.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a huge cloud of plasma emerging from the surface of the sun. A video from the space agency satellite shows a brutal plasma wave blasting off from the surface before wrapping next to our host star. The plasma tornado is about 10 times as high as the Earth's whirlwind, and is more than 240,000 miles high.

While tornadoes occur on Earth due to high winds, they occur in the sun due to magnetic fields.

Solar magnetic fields are suspended in a "angry vortex," according to Space Weather, and pull plasma from the surface of the sun into the region surrounding the star in the center of the solar system.

"This is called a coronal mass ejection flow (CME) rope, because a coronal mass ejection is literally a rope, forming a spiral of magnetic fields hundreds of thousands of kilometers in length," Space Weather added.

"When looking at the flow ropes from the side, they look like a coiled rope. The forecasters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have analyzed this coronal mass-emission pathway. It will traverse the Earth," the site continued.

While this solar storm will "overtake the Earth," some experts have warned that a major storm will hit the planet in the future.

Solar storms can expand the Earth's atmosphere, making it difficult for satellite signals to penetrate and reach the surface.

It can also overload national grids as the excess energy is taken into the Earth's magnetic shield, which is then absorbed by the rocks connected to the planet, which leads to an increase in electricity.

The last major storm occurred in 1989, when a huge solar storm caused a blackout in Quebec, Canada.

While it is impossible to predict when and where a massive solar storm will occur, there is no escape from a storm in the future.

As such, experts have lamented the lack of preparation for an extreme space weather event, warning that it could cost trillions of dollars and lead to widespread panic.

Risk advisory firm Drayton Tyler said: “In the worst case, direct and indirect costs are likely to run into the trillions of dollars with a payback period of years rather than months. The UK Royal Academy of Engineering estimates the likelihood of an event of this magnitude occurring at one in ten. In any contract
