The Sun Flares A solar flare is an enormous spurt of energy from the sun. They emit X rays, radio waves and masses of charged particles.
Solar flares create shock waves in the corona and the chromosphere.
They reach their maximum within minutes, and then die out. They are caused by the bending of magnetic field. When magnetic fields touch each other, they release an incredible amount of energy. This size is the X ray flux. Solar flares produce an enormous amount of energy.
