Are you worried that the satellite won't get sunshine during a solar eclipse to power its solar panels ?

Any artificial satellite whose orbit is not directly over the earth's poles is already in darkness

for roughly half of every orbital revolution, 24/7. That's why every satellite has storage batteries,

to save it up when the sun is shining, and keep it going when it's not . . . a lot like your cellphone

or your cordless drill.

How do solar flares impact the occurrence of a solar eclipse?

Solar flares do not directly impact the occurrence of a solar eclipse. Solar flares are bursts of energy from the sun's surface, while solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light. Solar flares can affect communication and technology on Earth, but they do not influence the timing or occurrence of solar eclipses.

How do satellites send images and data back from space?

Satellites send images and data back to Earth using radio waves. The satellite collects the information with its sensors and cameras, processes it, and then transmits it to ground stations on Earth.
