In this analogy, the lock is the enzyme which has a definite shape, with only a keyhole which fits exactly to the right key, that its then the substrate. This mechanism is used to explain the way enzymes are specific or can only degrade a certain substrate.

• The solar wind disrupts communication systems.  

• The solar wind distorts Earth's magnetic field.

Solar winds are geomagnetic stream of charged particles radiated from the outer atmosphere of the sun. All planets are protected from solar winds via magnetic fields but planets that are positioned closer to the sun can experience degeneration of the magnetic field.

Solar winds are capable to distort and even destroy the functioning of communication satellites  in outer space, such as radio and tv communication and satellite based internet services.

The effects of solar winds that are visible to naked eye are the Aurora Borealis (the Northern lights) and the Aurora Australis (the Southern Lights).
