Do you know what is a solar flare? Watch till end to expand your knowledge. A solar flare is an intense eruption of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere. These flares occur when accelerated charged particles, mainly electrons, interact with the plasma media. They occur often, but not always. The size of a typical solar prominence is on the order of 100,000 kilometers, or 10 times the Earth's diameter. It can disrupt satellite communications. And may now count electricity on Earth. Thanks for watching.
