=== How solar flares work? === | === How solar flares work? === | ||
Solar flares mainly occur due to the change and reconnection of the magnetic fields on the surface of the Sun or the photosphere. When different magnetic fields interact and recombine with one another, massive and bright bursts of electromagnetic radiation erupts. A solar flare usually travels at the speed of light and hence it is quicker than a coronal mass ejection. Though solar flares are usually attributed to the magnetic fields on the photosphere, they are one of the solar phenomena that are still studied in-depth for a better understanding. | Solar flares mainly occur due to the change and reconnection of the magnetic fields on the surface of the Sun or the photosphere.
