[ad_1]
Multiple solar flares have impacted Earth this year. But do you know what solar flares are and what causes them? Read on to find out.
Earth is being bombarded with solar flares this year as the Sun is in the peak of its 11-year solar cycle. This has resulted in more frequent solar eruptions resulting in more solar flares sent hurtling towards Earth. Solar flares can reach temperatures up to 100 million degrees Kelvin and have the potential to cause power grid failures, blackouts and GPS crashes.What are Solar Flares?According to NASA, Solar flares are photon flares emitted from the Sun which travel from the flare site. They are rated on the basis of their intensity with the highest being an X-rated solar flare. Solar F...
