2. An enormous amount of energy being released Takes a matter of minutes to explode over a space Some piece of materials breaks free and escapes into space Occurs when hot gas breaks free Magnetic field causes the flares to be contained in its area So energetic they are linked to bombs What is a Solar Flare?

3. Solar Flares Taken in ultraviolet rays to show flares and sunspots Sunspot X and M are ratings for the Solar Flares

4. Flare hit Earth’s Magnetic Field The flare hit the Earths Magnetic Field Only aurora seen Fast protons and charged particles from the sun travel toward Earth, sometimes in the wake of a solar flare. CME (coronal mass ejection) seen Shown how far the flare reached out Taken on April 11 2013

The flare was recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft, which is part of a 5-year mission focused on the sun. (April 16) http://on.aol.com/video/raw-video--nasa-captures-dramatic-solar-flare- 517336010 (NASA calls it an X-Class solar flare, one of the most powerful to have erupted from the Sun this year. The flare was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection on July 11.)http://on.aol.com/video/raw-video--nasa-captures-dramatic-solar-flare- 517336010 http://on.aol.com/video/raw-video--nasa-captures-dramatic-solar-flare- 517336010 (Thursday's flare was the latest in a series of solar eruptions captured by NASA's orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory. Classified as a moderate M class flare it lasted for about 45 minutes, ejecting billions of charged particles into space in a coronal mass ejection on October 24.)http://on.aol.com/video/raw-video--nasa-captures-dramatic-solar-flare- 517336010 Videos on Solar Flares
