Can solar flares affect earth's weather?

Answer 1

Yes. Solar Flares do affect earth.

As earth is protected by a very strong magnetic field, the effect is of no actual danger to life on earth.

For the planet it self, solar flares would not be of any danger at all even if life were exterminated by their magnitude.

Solar Flares do cause implications regarding electronics placed in orbits around the earth. They can during violent sun-storms cause saturation in electronics and burn circuitry. This particularly in satellite's.

For humans... The danger is only theoretical as in if sun-storms become so violent that they penetrate the magnetic field protecting our planet. This does not often happen and even if it happens, this would most likely only be marginally.

Answer 2

It can sometimes affect the earths weather as the energetic particles affect the atmosphere and cause auroras and winds. If a potential solar flare was released then it would be potential as it can do biochemical damage to the human body. This info was obtained from wikipedia in the hazards section so don't get me wrong.
