    I just looked it up on Wikipedia.

    The extreme ultraviolet and x-ray radiation from solar flares is absorbed by the daylight side of Earth’s upper atmosphere, in particular the ionosphere, and does not reach the surface.

    What else should I know?

        Lay down and pretend you are dead. This way the solar flare will most likely lose intrest and leave.

      It’s only 1 though. We need to talk with the sun about its flair.

      It claimed it wanted to express itself, but the Crab Pulsar expresses itself every 0.8 seconds.
