Both flares and CMEs depend on magnetic fields on the Sun. Image Credit: SOHO Image Credit: TRACE The most obvious difference between a solar flare and a CME is the spatial scale on which they occur. Flares are local events as compared to CMEs which are much larger eruptions of the corona.
coronal mass ejections are often associated with solar flares and prominence eruptions but they can also occur in the absence of either of these processes the frequency of cmes varies with the sunspot cycle at solar minimum we observe about one cme a week near solar maximum we observe an average of 2 to 3 cmes per day 3 4 mb mpeg movie from the soho lasco instrument showing a month of cmes from 1998
