Solar Flares May Be Way Hotter Than Researchers Previously Thought

Scientists recalculated the temperature of solar flares using modern data and new models

Why solar flares are way hotter than researchers thought

The hottest parts of the sun are its solar flares, and a new study suggests these flares could be more than six times hotter than scientists used to believe.

New Study Reveals Solar Flare Ions Far Hotter Than Electrons

Solar flares are among the most powerful and complex events that occur in the Sun’s atmosphere, releasing staggering amounts of energy in a matter of minutes. For decades, astronomers have studied these outbursts using both space- and ground-based instruments, piecing together a picture of how magnetic energy is suddenly converted into heat, light, and particle […] The post New Study Reveals Solar Flare Ions Far Hotter Than Electrons appeared fi…

Solar Flares More Dangerous Than Previously Thought

What processes are responsible for heating solar flares and what dangers do they pose to Earth? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical
