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. The occurrence of solar flares varies with the 11-year solar cycle.
[28] [42] Lockwood and Fröhlich, 2007, found "considerable evidence for solar influence on the Earth's pre-industrial climate and the Sun may well have been a factor in post-industrial climate change in the first half of the last century", but that "over the past 20 years, all the trends in the Sun that could have had an influence on the Earth ...
Three solar flares occurred over a 24-hour period this week. While we may not see them with a naked eye, they can affect Earth. Here's how.
Solar flares strongly influence space weather near the Earth. They can produce streams of highly energetic particles in the solar wind, known as a solar proton event. These particles can impact the Earth's magnetosphere in the form of a geomagnetic storm and present radiation hazards to spacecraft and astronauts. A solar flare
A growing body of research is finding evidence of violent solar flares deposited in natural archives like tree rings and glacial ice.. Scientists have so far identified five extreme solar particle ...
The sun is entering a new phase and it's going to have serious repercussions for human life.
On 23 July 2012, a massive, and potentially damaging, solar superstorm (solar flare, CME, solar EMP) occurred but missed Earth, [50] [51] an event that many scientists consider to be a Carrington-class event.
The peak of Solar Cycle 25 started in January and goes through October, which means we could see more solar flares in the coming months. Solar flares decrease as the sun nears solar minimum.
