No. Solar flares are a common occurrence. Earth's magnetic field protects us from the worst of it. The greatest danger is that an especially powerful solar flare could knock out satellites and damage electrical systems.

Could a solar flare destroy the earth?
It could destroy the earth, if it was a super flare. The next solar flare is in 2011 or 2012, but it wont harm the earth. It will mess up radios tough.
Can a solar blast destroy earth?
a giant solar flare could technically destroy earth, but a solar flare could not get that large. however, theoretically, before our sun "dies," it will expand and destroy the earth.
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
What does a solar flare do to a human?
It can both burn and give them radiation poisoning.
How hot does a solar flare burn?
several hundred million degrees.

Can a solar flare stop the Earth's rotation?
No. Solar flares do not affect Earth's rotation.

How does solar Flare affect earth?
It effects electricity
What wold a solar flare do if it reached earth?
It would wipe out all electricity. a solar flare occurs every 11 years.
A solar flare can cause disruptions to or on earth?
Radio communications
What happens when a solar flare hits earth?
The last answer 'the earth is goin to explode because dats something coming from the sun fast' is absolutely rubbish! The solar flare is harmless to Earth because Earth has its own magnetic field so that the solar flare will do very little harm to Earth. After all, the Earth didn't explode on 24/1/2012, when the flare pass earth. The solar flare passing Earth's atmosphere at the two poles (where the magnetic field is close to ground) at high speed creates polar light. It also cause some disturbance to electrical transmission through space and aviation. Astronauts out of Earth's magnetic field, however, have to take measures to prevent direct exposure to the flare. But even there isn't a magnetic field for Earth, like Mars, matter will only evaporate into space, the planet will not explode.
Would you be injured by a solar flare if you were in space near the earth?
If you were outside the Earth's protective layer, the answer is yes.
How does a sun flare effect earth and other planets?
solar flare... sends out a blast of magnetic field, it has been known to cause power outages on the planet of Earth
