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/
Solar flares are explosions and eruptions on the Sun itself, so they are all about 93,000,000 miles away. A big solar flare can cause a Coronal Mass Ejection, which is a cloud of highly-charged solar particles that escape from the Sun completely. CMEs routinely strike the Earth causing solar storms, auroras, and occasionally damage to electronic equipment on Earth or on orbiting satellites.
Right now, the Sun is in an extended - almost eerie! - period of dormancy following the last Solar Minimum. The next solar cycle ought to have started 18 months ago, but as of August 22, 2009, the Sun has been without sunspots for the past 40 days. And there is at present no sign of renewed activity. This is not dangerous, but is a little disconcerting to astronomers. It's been 100 years since the Sun was this quiet for this long, and an extended solar minimum may have effects on the Earth's weather as well.
There are solar flares almost every day. There were a couple of very impressive solar flares on June 16, 2010; see the link below for a neat movie of it.
Individual solar flares can't be predicted.
All we can say is that the level of solar activity, including flares and sunspots,
varies in a cycle that averages around 11 years.
A solar flare.
I suppose that you think to a "solar flare".Coronal mass ejections are bigger than solar flares.
the senter of the earth is a sun flare it is big and long lol jp look some were else the senter of the earth is a sun flare it is big and long lol jp look some were else the senter of the earth is a sun flare it is big and long lol jp look some were else

what happen during hudson last voyage
The sun released a huge solar flare in the last couple of weeks.
No. There will be solar flares in 2012 - there are flares every year, even the last couple of years during the depth of the deepest solar minimum in the last century - but solar flares do not "attack the Earth". It is possible that a massive solar flare could cause communications outages, or damage satellites, or cause spectacular auroras - but that could happen ANY time. There were a few satellites damaged by solar flares during the last solar max, in 2002, but the doom-sayers were wrong about that one, too.
the largest solar flare
Solar flares
We don't know, flares can happen at any time. Even now.
Yes. Solar means "related to the Sun".
Graeme King wrote solar flare in 2009
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.
It's miniscule. Partial eclipses are similar to a cloud passing over the sun in terms of darkness, and total eclipses only last a few minutes.
no because a solar flare cant actually hit the earth the earths magnetosphere protects it there for the flare will not hurt you physically
The biggest solar flare ever measured occurred on November 4, 2003. It is estimated that this flare was an X28.
The temperature of a solar flare varies between 10 and 20 million degrees Kelvin.
