Solar Flare can be described as huge increases of brightness of the sun once in a particular time period. It seems every 11 years sun reaches its maximum activity they become more bigger and more common, and that increases the chance that one will significantly affect affect earth, therefore a Solar flare is basically is an explosion on the surface of the sun. The time period of that explosions can be vary from minutes to hours in length. It produces huge amount of energy which can power to the whole United States for millions of years. Solar Flares are being done so far away from the Earth. but they can affect on the space gadgets such as satellites etc: and also the ground based technologies as power units etc:.
Lets check how the Solar Flare happened?.
Actually this happen due to the powerful magnetic fields in and around the sun reconnect. They're usually associated with the active regions of the sun and they are called as Suns spot. The magnetic field of the sun spot are the strongest. The magnetic energy of the sun is stored throughout the sun's atmosphere and when it is suddenly released, then the solar flare is happened,(which occurs when magnetic field lines from sunspots tangle and erupt) the amount of energy released is equivalent to the millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time.Solar flare is more extended and it beyond the the layer of the sun which is known as the corona. The corona is the outermost atmosphere of the sun which is included with highly rarefied gases.(This gas normally has a temperature of a few million degrees Kelvin).The temperature of the inside of the flare is about 10 to 20 million of degrees Kelvin and it can increase up to 100 millions of degree Kelvin. The solar flares can be classified according to there strength.
- Smallest one know as : B class
- C class
- M class
- Strongest one known as : X class
According to some articles, The sun flare is classified in to three main stages which are mentioned as below.This classification is done according to the intensive variation of the brightness when it built up magnetic energy in the Sun's atmosphere.
- Precursor stage : In this stage the sun is emitting soft X rays
- Impulsive stage : In this stage it seems the emission of the energies exceeds 1Mev and Radio waves, hard X-rays and may be Gamma rays as well.
- Decay stage : In this stage the decay of soft X rays can be detected.
History of the Solar Flares
According to the records, the most power full solar flare was recorded in 2003, during the last solar maximum.(how it was power full is it is cannot be measured ). Somehow it was estimated as X17 and it was the maximum cut out of the solar flare to be measured, then later it is estimated again as the strength of the solar flare was about X45. Due to solar flares like this, those are highly affect on the transmission of the Earth and the all other satellites and ground based equipments.
