This image showed us the impact of the Sun on our whole solar system and its importance to us. Besides its extreme temperature, the Sun is a powerful celestial body that is unique. 

The Sun, a massive ball of plasma, is essential for life on Earth. From plants to humans, the Sun is necessary for all the living creatures on the Earth, reported NDTV.

Solar flares occur due to the high magnetic field of the Sun

Scientists have always been fascinated by the phenomena of solar flares. Solar eruptions are visible in various shades of orange and yellow; they are very bright. These flares are nothing but eruptions of particles of high energy and also are radiation. 

They are triggered by the magnetic field of the Sun. Sun has a very powerful magnetic field, resulting in these flares. The radiation that emits from these flares can disrupt various communication systems. They can also harm our navigation system and the network of power grids. Scientists are still trying to understand them fully.

Understanding solar flares is necessary

They are more than just a beautiful-looking phenomenon that comes from the darkness of space. They testify to the Sun’s magnetic dominance over the planets in the solar system.

 We need to understand them to look deeply at the effect they can have on our technology-driven world. Their knowledge is important to us as a sun-dominated species.
