I think that that was very interesting. It was also very cool. I have heard and seen solar flares before and know what they look like, but I think that it better not keep up, because if it does then it may cause us damage eventually. I wonder how big a solar flare can actually get. 10% percent of the sun's energy sounds scary. IF that were to happen it would probably be on the news. I think that this was a really cool article. I liked how in the video I got to see what actually happened. It's cool how the sun can actually explode at some times like that. It is really cool.
Wow. I think I've heard of solar flares before, but I've never actually seen one. I wonder if the flares affect us somehow. Maybe it warms up when there's a solar flare. Although I don't believe these flares will actually hurt us, but I do wonder how big they can get. If one got really big, it could burn up Mercury, and who knows what would happen then. Even though it's only 10% of the sun's energy, that could spell doomsday if it got too close. And the solar flares are HUGE! Actually, they're about the size of the sun itself! I really liked this article. It's cool how the sun explodes like that.
Wow! I have never seen any solar flames before. When it told us to look on the right side of the sun to see the explosion I thought it was going to be smaller, but then it caught me by surprise to see a very big and extreme explosion. As Emilynne said, even though it is 10% of the suns energy it may come close to Earth. I am very grateful that it has not happened before and hopefully will not in the future. I do have a question about that. If it comes in contact with Earth where would it hit. I know that it would depend on what time it is because the place that it is closest to the sun changes. That is why in some places it would be night and in others day. Anyways, my question is, how much would it effect Earth? How deep would it go? Would it just burn everywhere or just hit a little bit and the rest would not feel it. Would the rest of Earth feel it just not get harmed by it?
Well to answer your question savi most of us here know that the earth will end eventually by the sun itself exploding because it is a star and all stars explode, but that won't happen for like a kabbillion years and we don't even know if the human race will around by then. But if it did get big enough to actually hit earth earth would either explode, get really hot, or the place that it hit would explode but it won't happen when we are alive it might happen a hundred years from now but it is unlikely to happen when we are alive.
That was pretty cool. I wish they would have gone more into why this happened. I hear that sometime soon there is going to be a big solar explosion that happens every 13 years or so. This was really cool, though. I had never seen it before. I think the suns chances of hitting us are kind of unrealistic. I mean, the sun is 93,000,000 miles away. That would be a huge solar explosion. That was a cool video!
Wow! That was mind blowing! Solar flares do happen around every 15 years. I was expecting a very small explosion but it turned out to be a huge explosion! I wonder, like Emilynne, would it ever burn up a planet close to the sun? If so, how would it turn out? Also, I think they should have gone into more detail about why this was happening. I mean I get the overall view but they should've gone into the idea a tad bit more. This was a very amazing video that showed us how big a solar explosion could get!
This was really cool! LIke the person said, it was rated only a 2.5, which in my opinion, seems a bit small for that explosion. But, I don't study the sun so what right do I have to judge... When they were saying how big the flare was, like how it was as big as the sun, that was actually really interesting. I thought that later they said that that flare was equal to billions of nuclear bombs going off, that's really freaky. Overall, I thought that this was really cool.
I think that a solar flare is very interesting. In the video I did not get a great idea as to the size of the explosion, but it does sound massive, and I wish that I could have seen it.
As I looked at the article I noticed that it material from the sun's surface was launched out, so I started to wonder if any satellites were pushed of course, or damaged.
Wow that was a HUGE explosion. Over a million kilometers? Wow. What really surprised me is that the explosion blasted around a billion tons of "sun" into space, and around 10% of the sun's energy was released. Imagine sneezing and having both of your hands fly off. That's a big part of your body. I don't understand how such a colossal flare wouldn't affect earth. I know this is a weird example, but if both of your hands flew off from a big sneeze there would be blood everywhere. If that big of a part of the sun erupted, wouldn't heat be shot off everywhere? Wouldn't we on earth have a huge heat wave from that? I can't imagine how strong the sun's gravitational pull is to be able to shoot off 10% of it over a million kilometers away and be able to pull everything back. Compared to how the sun makes nine or eight (pluto or not) planets circle around it up to six billion kilometers away and not fly off into space, this small feat is negligible. It's amazing how powerful the sun is.
Wowzers. That might've been the biggest explosion I've ever seen! (JK of course it is). That was GIGANTIC. A MILLION?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? That's a lot of kms. The sun is just such a great powerful object but we might be worried about this for many reasons. First off, if we have too many of these explosions what will happen? Will the sun go to pieces if there is none of it left. In that case, wouldn't it just burn out? This will affect life on Earth because then we wouldn't have sunlight which is our main source for everything. The Sun is essential. So I'm not sure that so many of these explosions would really be such a good thing after all. P.S. ;)
Wow. A solar flare that uses 10% of the sun's energy. I have never seen a solar flare stretch as far as a million kilometers. It could have done some serious damage to whatever was near it. I wonder what would happen if a solar flare was directed at Earth and hit it. There are many questions I have about this solar flare. I think it is really interesting how the sun explodes and somehow regains whatever it blew away in the explosion.
Wow. I know what a solar flare is, but I've never seen one. And now that I have, it worries me. I know the article said that we aren't in any danger from these flares, but like Emilynne said, assume that one got to big and burned up Mercury, I think we might, we just might be in the verge of danger. But I have no idea what would happen afterwards. But I won't jump to any conclusions, so we are probably not in danger.
Wow! This was so interesting! I have never seen a solar flare before. I can not believe that the explosion was so huge! I wonder if the flares affect the weather on Earth somehow, or maybe Earth is far enough away that the flares don't affect it, but only the sunlight. Are solar flares visible using the naked eye? That flare was really big. Like other people's comments I wonder if a planet could get blown up from the flares. This was a really cool article and I would love to learn more about solar flares.
It was a very cool article. I just don't want it to damage the sun. I just feel like they should of had a little bit more explanation. Overall, it was good.

WOW that was amazing I agree with savi I was expecting it to be a small explosion but it was huge!
