Solar flare - Wikipedia A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere Flares occur in active regions and are often, but not always, accompanied by coronal mass ejections, solar particle events, and other eruptive solar phenomena
Solar flares: What are they and how do they affect Earth? Solar flares are large explosions from the surface of the sun that emit intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation The intensity of the explosion determines what classification the flare
What is a Solar Flare? - Science@NASA What is a Solar Flare? 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)
Sunspots and Solar Flares - NASA Space Place 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
ESA - What are solar flares? A solar flare is a tremendous explosion on the Sun that happens when energy stored in 'twisted' magnetic fields (usually above sunspots) is suddenly released
Solar Flares - Center for Science Education Solar flares are huge explosions of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun A flare appears as a sudden, intense brightening of a region on the Sun, lasting several minutes to hours Flares occur when intense magnetic fields on the Sun become too tangled
Solar Flares - NASA What is a Solar Flare? A flare is defined as a sudden, rapid, and intense variation in brightness A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released
What Is a Solar Flare? Effects on Earth, Tech, Space Weather So, what is a solar flare? In short, it’s a sudden burst of energy and radiation from the Sun that can have a major impact on both space weather and technology here on Earth While we’re mostly shielded from the direct effects, they can still cause disruptions to things like communication satellites and GPS systems
Solar Flares - National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information . . . Solar flares are large eruptions of electromagnetic radiation that occur near sunspots, usually at the dividing line between areas of opposite magnetic fields These sudden outbursts of electromagnetic energy travel at the speed of light, and can last from minutes to hours
Solar Flares (Radio Blackouts) - NOAA NWS Space Weather Prediction Center Solar flares usually take place in active regions, which are areas on the Sun marked by the presence of strong magnetic fields; typically associated with sunspot groups As these magnetic fields evolve, they can reach a point of instability and release energy in a variety of forms
