Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation from the sun's surface, caused by the release of magnetic energy associated with sunspots. They can affect space weather and have implications for satellite operations and communication on Earth.
Coronal Mass Ejections are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's corona. They can disrupt space weather and affect satellite operations, power grids, and even create beautiful auroras on Earth.
