Solar flares coincide yet are part of our Sun’s recurring 11-year cycle, divided into the minimum and maximum phases. Depending on the phase, the occurrence of solar activities such as solar storms mostly triggers the rate of solar flares. A manifestation of an explosive solar storm in our solar system’s only star, solar flares have … Read more
