Solar flares occur when the sun's magnetic field — which creates the dark sunspots on the star's surface — twists up and reconnects, blasting energy outward and superheating the solar surface.
A solar flare occurs when a patch of the Sun brightens dramatically at all wavelengths of light.
However, a flare the size of
a solar flare occurring on a red dwarf star (such as Groombridge 34 A or B) that is more than ten thousand times dimmer than our Sun would emit about as much or more light as the red dwarf itself, doubling its brightness or more.
However, a flare the size of
a solar flare occurring on a red dwarf star (such as Proxima Centauri) that is more than ten thousand times dimmer than our Sun would emit about as much or more light as the red dwarf does normally.
However, a flare the size of
a solar flare occurring on a red dwarf star (CM Draconis) that is more than ten thousand times dimmer than our Sun would emit about as much or more light as the red dwarf does normally.
The corona generally ranges from 900,000 F (500,000 C) to 10.8 million F (6 million C) and can even reach tens of millions of degrees when
a solar flare occurs.
A lovely
solar flare occurred earlier today.

Sunspots
occur when magnetic fields rip through the sun's surface, producing holes in the sun's corona,
solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and changes in the
solar wind, the stream of charged particles emanating from the sun.
