Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation that occur on the Sun's surface...
1. *Geomagnetic Storms*: Solar flares can trigger geomagnetic storms when they release a burst of energy and particles into space...
2. *Auroras*: Increased solar activity can lead to more intense auroras, also known as the Northern and Southern Lights.
3. *Communication Disruptions*: Solar flares can interfere with radio communications, GPS signals, and power grids.
4. *Satellite Damage*: High-energy particles from solar flares can damage satellites and other spacecraft in orbit around Earth
5. *Radiation Hazard for Astronauts*: During a solar flare, astronauts in space are at an increased risk of exposure to harmful radiation.
