Solar flares are magnetic storms on the sun which produce high levels of radiation and charged particles. These can temporarily intensify the solar wind, which can interfere with satellites and radio transmissions on earth.Solar flares include the sun.Thats why its called solar because solar means sun or light.
A solar flare is an eruption of plasma from the Sun's surface. It is the result of a magnetic field line of the sun twisting (since plasma is made of electrically charged particles). Eventually it gets too tight and snaps back into place; the flares are the paths that plasma take over the magnetic field line.

∙ 9y agoA solar flare is basically a huge explosion on the Sun that is caused by energy being stored in magnetic fields and is released.

∙ 12y agoSunspots are spots/dots that appear on the sun. A sunspot is a net of the sun's magnetic field that bursts up. Sunspots looks black, but they aren't, they just shine/glow less than the sun. The surface of the sun in 5,800 degrees Celsius and the sunspots are 4,500 degrees Celsius.
A solar flare or solar wind (they're both the same) is formed with one of the "nets" breaks, when that happens a wind/flare is released.
Every 11 years; the sun reaches its maximum time: a lot of sunspots. That means that its magnetic field is more active than in its minimum time; few sun spots. The next maximum time is in 2012.
In the maximum time the flares are packed with energy. There's more energy in one flare, than the humanity have ever used.
The more sunspots, the less cosmic radiation, because of stronger/magnetic activity.
The less sunspots, the more cosmic radiation, because of less strength/activity.

solar flare or solar prominences
The sun produces big explosions of energy called?
These are called Solar Flares .
Which of these provide the continouous supply of electrically charged particles that are thrown into space from the sun?
solar flares
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
