Class C3 solar flare in a better way!


ABOVE- AT THE CENTER OF SUN, YOU CAN SEE THE SOLAR FLARE
IMAGE OF 16:28 UT
As mentioned in the previous article, A giant Solar Flare has erupted from the sun spot no. 1029 on sun. Solar flare occurs when Coronal Mass ejection or CME happens which occurs due to magnetic reconnection. In magnetic reconnection, magnetic field lines rearrange themselves opposite to the arrangement which causes a repulsive action releasing tremendous energy with hot plasma, electrons and other charged particles.

On August 1, a class C3 solar flare was ejected from the sunspot 1029 which is earth facing sun spot. So the flares headed towards the earth

IN THE ABOVE FALSE COLOR IMAGE OF SUN
YOU CAN SEE TWO MORE SOLAR FLARES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF IMG I.E RIGHT SIDE OF SUN
THEY ARE HEADING TO OTHER DIRECTION
THE IMAGE TO THE RIGHT IS THE SOLAR X RAY FLUX DATA TAKEN BY GOES SATELLITE
THERE YOU CAN SEE THE X RAY FLUX INCREASING ON AUG 2 which is termed as Class A. On August it was a CLASS C ejection

The classification of solar flares is done by comparing the X ray flux of it. I didn't get August 1 image where the Flare reached 10 raised to -6 Wm-2

you can find the solar flare video-
