If you are in the right place, you know that big solar flares have happened, because you see the results of the energized particles striking Earth and being channeled into the north pole and south pole. These results are called the Northern Lights, although they occur at the South pole too.
Solar flares happen on the Sun
No, but it does have solar flares. Solar flares are small explosions that happen on the sun everyday.
Gasses radiating from solar flares and such.
solar flares isfire
It is essentially impossible to predict solar flares beyond broad guidelines.
Solar flares are also known as solar storms or solar eruptions.
Solar flares discharge radiation and charged particles.
We don't know, flares can happen at any time. Even now.
solar flare or solar prominences
Solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and solar prominences are some of the most explosive events to occur on the sun. Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation, while CMEs release colossal amounts of solar material into space. Solar prominences are large loops of plasma extending from the sun's surface.
They are known as solar flares.
No. There will be solar flares in 2012 - there are flares every year, even the last couple of years during the depth of the deepest solar minimum in the last century - but solar flares do not "attack the Earth". It is possible that a massive solar flare could cause communications outages, or damage satellites, or cause spectacular auroras - but that could happen ANY time. There were a few satellites damaged by solar flares during the last solar max, in 2002, but the doom-sayers were wrong about that one, too.
