SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Solar flares are a sudden explosion of energy caused by tangling, crossing or reorganizing of magnetic field lines near sunspots. The surface of the Sun is a very busy place. It has electrically charged gases that generate areas of powerful magnetic forces. These areas are called magnetic fields.

Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, solar flares pose no direct danger to humans on Earth. However, this absorption of high-energy electromagnetic radiation can temporarily increase the ionization of the upper atmosphere, which can interfere with short-wave radio communication, and can temporarily heat and expand the Earth’s outer atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heliophysicists and other scientists studying “space weather” warn that flares and related solar outbursts can indeed interfere with modern life by damaging power grids, as well as by increasing radiation exposures for occupants of space habitats and high-altitude aircraft.

Detailed explanation-4: -These solar storms, which cause noticeable damage to Earth, are called CME storms or coronal mass ejection storms.

Detailed explanation-5: -A solar flare is an eruption on the Sun, a sudden flash of light-usually near a sunspot-that can release as much energy as roughly 10 billion 1-megaton nuclear bombs.
