What are 3 types of solar flares?
X-class flares: the strongest solar flares with the potential to cause radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms. M-class flares: moderate solar flares that can cause brief radio blackouts near the poles and minor radiation storms. C-class flares: the weakest solar flares that typically have minimal impact on Earth but can still cause some radio interference.
When did the last solar flare happen?
There are generally solar flares every few days, and almost always within a week or so. Really spectacular flares are more common during the "Solar Max" period around the peak of the sunspot cycle. That will be in 2013 or so. You can see recent movies of solar flares and prominences at http://thesuninmotion.com/
How do sun spots and solar flares show evidence for climate change?
They don't. Climate change occurs on the Earth. Sun spots and solar flares occur on the Sun. The Sun heating up could cause a climate change on the Earth, but sunspots and solar flares don't really have much to do with that.
How are prominences and solarflares alike and different?
Oversimplified analogy: the solar wind is a near continuous fairly gentle outflow of gas from the sun in all directions, a solar flare is a giant hurricane force gust blown suddenly away from the sun in one single direction.
How can the tree main types of solar activity sunspots solar flares and prominences be differentiated from each other?
Sunspots are dark spots on the sun's surface caused by magnetic activity, solar flares are sudden releases of energy from the sun's surface, and prominences are arcs of plasma that extend outwards from the sun's surface. They can be differentiated by their appearance, with sunspots being dark spots, solar flares appearing as sudden bright flashes, and prominences being visible as long arcs or loops. Each type of solar activity is associated with different levels of energy release and can have varying effects on Earth.

Are solar cycles every 13 years?
Solar cycles are typically around 11 years long, determined by the sun's magnetic activity. These cycles consist of periods of high and low sunspot activity, impacting phenomena such as solar flares and the aurora borealis.
When will the solar tsunami hit EARTH?
There is currently no known prediction for the occurrence of a solar tsunami that will hit Earth. Solar tsunamis are rare events caused by solar flares or coronal mass ejections on the Sun. Although they can impact space weather and satellite communications, their timing and intensity are difficult to predict accurately.
What are solar winds and how do they affect your solar system?
TA solar flare is a large explosion in the Sun's atmosphere that can release as much as 6 × 1025 joules of energy[1] (about a sixth of the total energy output of the Sun each second). The term is also used to refer to similar phenomena in other stars, where the term stellar flare applies.Solar flares affect all layers of the solar atmosphere (photosphere, chromosphere, and corona), heating plasma to tens of millions of kelvins and accelerating electrons, protons, and heavier ions to near the speed of light. They produce radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum at all wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays. Most flares occur in active regions around sunspots, where intense magnetic fields penetrate the photosphere to link the corona to the solar interior. Flares are powered by the sudden (timescales of minutes to tens of minutes) release of magnetic energy stored in the corona. If a solar flare is exceptionally powerful, it can cause coronal mass ejections.X-rays and UV radiation emitted by solar flares can affect Earth's ionosphere and disrupt long-range radio communications. Direct radio emission at decimetric wavelengths may disturb operation of radars and other devices operating at these frequencies.Solar flares were first observed on the Sun by Richard Christopher Carrington and independently by Richard Hodgson in 1859 as localized visible brightenings of small areas within a sunspot group. Stellar flares have also been observed on a variety of other stars.The frequency of occurrence of solar flares varies, from several per day when the Sun is particularly "active" to less than one each week when the Sun is "quiet". Large flares are less frequent than smaller ones. Solar activity varies with an 11-year cycle (the solar cycle). At the peak of the cycle there are typically more sunspots on the Sun, and hence more solar flares.
