Two things I believe. The magnetosphere first of all. The magnetosphere surrounds Earth and near space with a field of charged magnetic particles. Since solar flares are magnetically charged, this helps deflect them. Also, the ozone filters much UV rays and dangerous particles from the Sun. The reason many are worried about the ozone is because if the hole or holes in the ozone (created by harmful chemicals) keep expanding, the temperature of Earth will get increasingly warmer.

The Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field protect it from solar flares. The atmosphere absorbs and scatters a large portion of the harmful electromagnetic radiation emitted during a solar flare. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field deflects the charged particles that are released, preventing them from directly reaching the surface. However, in certain cases, intense solar flares can still have some impact on Earth, such as disrupting satellite communications or causing power outages in regions with weak electrical grids.
