They all occur from the Sun's magnetic fields. The intense magnetic fields associated with sunspots might cause prominences, which are huge, arching columns of gas. Gases near sunspots sometimes brighten suddenly, shooting outwards at high speeds. These violent eruptions are called solar flares.
he sun (as all stars) is a giant ball of plasma where nuclear transmutations and fusion are continuously occurring generating massive amounts of energy which when combined with the enormous amount of plasma and ionized material and gravity from that amount of mass yield amazingly complex reactions of magnetic field productions, plasma emission, plasma convection, audioplasma effects, and atomic collisions; basically, the causes of solar flares and sunspots can be approximated by saying magnetic fields store up energy (sunspot) and then release it in a burst of plasma (solar flare) but the deeper physics of what is going on is way to complex to explain on yahooanswers.
in general however, the sun follows an 11 year cycle with peak/high of solar activity occurring approximately every 11 years with the next one predicted in early 2013
as for dangers here on earth, the biggest danger would be another Carrington-type event as occurred in 1859 when the sun spewed out such strong solar flares that atmospheric EMP's were produced and power and telegraph lines burned out and exploded everywhere; if something like that happened again with society's dependence today on modern electronics, the result would be devastating with nationwide power outages lasting weeks, possiblys month and all non-shielded electronics completely destroyed
to much heat
They're not related.
No. A sunspot is a slightly cooler area of the surface associated with magnetic disturbances within the Sun. The eruptions of gas are called prominences, and they are related to the phenomenon called solar flares.
No. Solar flares have nothing to do with tsunamis.

The sun don't really need sunspots cause sunspots are related to several features on the sun's surface but prominences and solar flares need sunspots.Sunspots are the places where the magnetic field lines of the Sun poke out of the Sun to form loops.Where they poke out they are seens as prominences against the edge of the Sun's visible disk during an eclipse of the Sun.The looped magnetic field lines contain energy and are unstable, When they break and reconnect they release this energy suddenly and cause solar flares.
About 2 million mph. Pretty Fast ! That answer may be referring to "coronal mass ejections" rather than the closely related phenomenon of solar flares.
solar flares,sunspot
They do not come from the sunspot. They can be anywhere in the sun,
They both implode, explode and originate from the same surface.. a sunspot
The sunspot is spots of the Sun while solar flare is the ray of the Sun
Solar flares are brief outbursts that appear as a bright region above a sunspot cluster. Solar flares emit enormous quantities of energy in the form of ultraviolet, radio, and X-ray radiation.
probably golden, with brown sunspot here and there. with solar flares projecting from its surface.
Solar flares happen on the Sun

It has to be solar flares, supra-sunspots, solar wind, or prominences.
