is a large explosion in the Sun's atmosphere that can release high quantities of joules of energy.
Recent scientific research has shown that the phenomenon of magnetic reconnection is responsible for solar flares. NASA-assembled researchers described in a chilling report issued earlier this year on the destructive potential of solar storms for the 2012-2013.
it describes the consequences of solar flares unleashing waves of energy that could disrupt Earth’s magnetic field, overwhelming high-voltage transformers with vast electrical currents and short-circuiting energy grids. Such a catastrophe would cost the United States "$1 trillion to $2 trillion in the first year," concluded the panel, and "full recovery could take 4 to 10 years." That would, of course, be just a fraction of global damages.
