There is a 15 percent chance of X-class solar flares on Wednesday, and a 40 percent chance of M-class flares.
There is a higher-than-usual chance of powerful X-class solar flares on Wednesday, thanks to several active sunspots kicking up a fuss on the sun's surface.
This is a result of ten sunspot groups with mixed-polarity magnetic fields facing toward the Earth, making them a ticking time bomb for powerful flares. Solar flares are bursts of X-ray radiation from the sun's surface, with the power of the flare depending on the amount of magnetic energy that has built up and been released.on Earth, as the X-rays of a flare ionize the ionosphere layer of the atmosphere, preventing radio signals from being bounced off that layer between sender and receiver.
Solar flares are classified as A, B, C, M, or X, depending on how powerful they are, with X-class flares beingand least common. X10 flares are 10 times more powerful than X1 flares."The most powerful of these X-class flares have been compared to release energy comparable to billions of hydrogen bombs," Brown said.
