What explosion in the upper solar atmosphere releases about as much energy as millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding simultaneously?
A solar flare
An eruption on the suns surface is a solar what?
Protuberance or Solar Flare.
Solar flares last for many years?
a solar flare can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released. Radiation is emitted across virtually the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves at the long wavelength end, through optical emission to x-rays and gamma rays at the short wavelength end. The amount of energy released is the equivalent of millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time. I don't know where you got years from but they don't last anywhere near that long. perhaps you where thinking of a solar cycle? in which case a solar cycle is about 11 years long.
Can a solar flare stop the Earth's rotation?
No. Solar flares do not affect Earth's rotation.
Electrically charged flares that arch up from the sun are known as?
solar flare or solar prominences
What explosion in the upper solar atmosphere releases about as much energy as millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding simultaneously?
A solar flare
What can the amount of energy released during a solar flare be equal to?
1 million exploding nuclear bombs
An explosion of hydrogen gas from the sun's surface?
A solar flare, I think
What are the explosions of hydrogen gas from the sun's surface?
Solar Flare
Why the sun send out solar flares?
sun releases solar flare, because many hydrogen collides on each other.
Can a nuke destroy the sun?
No. Compared to an X class Solar flare which typically releases as much energy as a billion hydrogen bombs and does the Sun no harm at all. No nuke that man could make could even scratch the Sun.
What were the most explosive events to occur on the sun?
Solar flares
Is a solar flare the same thing as a sun flare?
Yes. Solar means "related to the Sun".
When did Graeme king write Solar Flare?
Graeme King wrote solar flare in 2009
What is solar flare capable of?
A solar flare can set off beautiful Northern Lights. If the solar flare is really powerful, it can mess up communications and it can wreck the power grid.
Can a solar flare harm you physically?
no because a solar flare cant actually hit the earth the earths magnetosphere protects it there for the flare will not hurt you physically
How big was the largest solar flare ever measured?
The biggest solar flare ever measured occurred on November 4, 2003. It is estimated that this flare was an X28.
