Solar flares are like big explosions on the Sun that send energy and particles flying toward Earth. When they hit our atmosphere, they can cause pretty lights in the sky called auroras or even mess up satellites and power lines.
Examples
- A solar flare can cause a beautiful aurora in the sky at night.
- When a solar flare hits, it might make your satellite TV stop working for a while.
