Definition of solar flare in English English dictionary: A violent explosion in the Sun's atmosphere; (Meteoroloji) A solar flare is a sudden brightening observed over the Sun's surface or the solar limb; a sudden eruption of intense high-energy radiation from the sun's surface; associated with sunspots and radio interference; volcanic eruption of the surface of the sun; n. A sudden eruption of hydrogen gas on the surface of the sun, usually associated with sunspots and accompanied by a burst of ultraviolet radiation that is often followed by a magnetic disturbance. Sudden intense brightening of a small part of the Sun's surface, often near a sunspot group. Flares develop in a few minutes and may last several hours, releasing intense X rays and streams of energetic particles. They appear to be connected with changes in the Sun's magnetic fields during the solar cycle. The ejected particles take a day or two to reach the vicinity of Earth, where they can disrupt radio communications and cause auroras, and may pose a radiation hazard to astronauts
