What is an X-class solar flare? X-class flares are the biggest explosions from the sun. They can be 10 times the size of Earth, according to NASA, and produce as much energy as a billion hydrogen ...
A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere. Flares occur in active regions and are often, but not always, accompanied by coronal mass ejections, solar particle events, and other eruptive solar phenomena. The occurrence of solar flares varies with the 11-year solar cycle.
May 2024 solar storms: X1.2(X1.3)-class flares [93] and X4.5-class flare. [94] The flares with a magnitude of 6–7 occurred between 30 April and 4 May 2024. On 5 May the strength of the solar storm reached 5 points, which is considered strong according to the K-index. The rapidly growing sunspot AR3663 became the most active spot of the 25th ...

Our life-giving death star is experiencing its "solar maximum," which sounds like the name of a Christian rock band and is defined as the peak activity period within the sun's 11-year solar cycle.
The sun produced its biggest flare in nearly a decade Tuesday, just days after severe solar storms pummeled Earth and created dazzling northern lights in unaccustomed places. “Not done yet ...
In solar physics and observation, an active region is a temporary feature in the Sun's atmosphere characterized by a strong and complex magnetic field.They are often associated with sunspots and are commonly the source of violent eruptions such as coronal mass ejections and solar flares. [1]
Solar storms include: Solar flare, a large explosion in the Sun's atmosphere caused by tangling, crossing or reorganizing of magnetic field lines; Coronal mass ejection (CME), a massive burst of plasma from the Sun, sometimes associated with solar flares; Geomagnetic storm, the interaction of the Sun's outburst with Earth's magnetic field
