What Are Solar Flares?

Karan Alawat and Dungar Tindhuhan give their views on solar flares. What was the current event? And how severely can they impact life on earth? Karan Alawat: Solar flares are potentially very dangerous. They could knock off electrical grids across the world, if something that this happens again. To replace those burnt out destroyed electrical,. electrical grids could take months, perhaps years in cold places... people could die from exposure to cold because there is no electricity available for heating" It could destroy satellites around the earth, which we would be left without any communications. That thing will happen one of these days. It's a statistical certainty."
