they can both be very disruptive to human activity on earth and in space
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 and coronal mass ejections. You can see the daily sunspot number, and movies of interesting CMEs and flares, at spaceweather.com.
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
Mars does not have solar flares; only the Sun has solar flares. However, like the Earth, Mars is occasionally hit by "coronal mass ejections" caused by solar flares. Mars does get hit by fewer of these, because it is further away from the Sun.
Coronal ejections or solar flares or prominences
I suppose that you think to a "solar flare".Coronal mass ejections are bigger than solar flares.

There are a variety of types of solar storms. These include solar flares, geomagnetic storms, as well as coronal mass ejections.

Solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
These are solar flares or coronal mass ejections(CMEs).
Some effects are coronal spots and reconnection events. Also, most solar flares and coronal mass ejections originate in the magnetically active regions around the visible sunspot groupings.

Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are associated with sunspots, although we're not sure which one is the cause and which the effect. If you are interested in solar phenomena, visit www.spaceweather.com to see daily photos of the Sun.
