Detailed explanation-1: -Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
Detailed explanation-2: -Solar flares: Explosions of light from the sun’s surface. Driven by the behavior of the sun’s magnetic field, they expel extreme amounts of energy (visible light, X-rays, and beyond) into space. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs): These occur when the sun ejects a mass of super hot gas (plasma).
Detailed explanation-3: -A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released. Radiation is emitted across virtually the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves at the long wavelength end, through optical emission to x-rays and gamma rays at the short wavelength end.
Detailed explanation-4: -A solar flare is an intense burst of electromagnetic radiation generated in the sun’s atmosphere-the layers of sparse but hot gas that lie above its visible surface, or photosphere.
