Can solar storms actually affect human health?

Original: Can solar storms affect people? Are solar flares dangerous to humans?

Questions are circulating about whether solar storms and solar flares can affect people's health and daily life. Solar activity, including flares and geomagnetic storms, can disturb radio communications, GPS signals and power grids, and some people report headaches or sleep issues during strong storms. Scientists generally say radiation from solar flares poses little direct risk to humans on the ground, though astronauts and aviation crews face higher exposure.

Why now: Heightened solar activity has prompted public concern about possible effects on health and infrastructure.
