The events of the Mass Ejection of Feb. 14-19 2011. Location: NW Arkansas
Mine and several others neighbors dogs began low intermittent howling from late day Feb. 14-16th.
Winds were light but shifting. Feb 15th my compass started making gradual movement- by am Feb. 16th the compass had shifted 22.5 degrees. Springs suddenly change output...some going dry.
Feb.17: Compass made erractic but gradual return to normal. Springs returned to normal flowing rate.

they can both be very disruptive to human activity on earth and in space
Solar bubbles, also known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are massive bursts of ionized gas and magnetic fields from the Sun's corona. They can travel through space and interact with Earth's magnetic field, potentially leading to geomagnetic storms and disruptions to satellite communications.
You may be referring to solar flares, also known as coronal mass ejections. When these interact with Earth's magnetic field, the result can be electromagnetic interference. In severe storms, the interference can damage or destroy electronic equipment on Earth or in orbit.
The part of the sun responsible for sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections is the Sun's outermost layer called the corona. This region has intense magnetic fields that can lead to these dynamic and energetic solar phenomena.
The sun is currently approaching the peak of its activity cycle known as solar maximum, which is expected to occur around 2025. During solar maximum, the sun's surface is more active with increased sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections.

I suppose that you think to a "solar flare".Coronal mass ejections are bigger than solar flares.
Explosions on the Sun, like solar flares and coronal mass ejections, can vary in size. Solar flares can release energy equivalent to millions of nuclear bombs, while coronal mass ejections can release billions of tons of solar material into space. These explosions can have various impacts on Earth's magnetosphere and technology.
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.
Explosions on the sun's surface are known as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These events release huge amounts of energy in the form of light, particles, and magnetic fields, which can impact space weather and technology on Earth. Solar flares are sudden flashes of increased brightness, while coronal mass ejections release massive clouds of charged particles into space.

Solar flares: intense bursts of radiation emitted from the sun's surface. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs): massive expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's corona. Solar particle events: high-energy particles released from the sun that can impact satellites and astronauts in space.
Changes in the amount of energy the sun sends out may be related to solar activity cycles, such as sunspot cycles, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. These cycles can impact the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth and can influence our climate and space weather.
No.
Auroras are not directly related to sunspots. However, sunspots are associated with solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can cause geomagnetic storms on Earth. These storms can enhance aurora activity, making them more likely to be visible at lower latitudes.
Examples of solar activity include solar flares, sunspots, coronal mass ejections, and solar wind. These phenomena can have effects on Earth's magnetic field, technology, and space weather.
No. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) do blast considerable amounts of solar plasma into space, but the Sun's gravity is so high that most of it falls back into the Sun; only trace amounts reach the Earth's orbit. But even if the Sun were not rotating, the Earth is moving. So even if a still Sun were to pop a CME directly at the Earth, the Earth would move out of the path in a few days.
