Solar Flares. A solar flare is an enormous explosion in the solar atmosphere. It results in sudden bursts of particle acceleration, heating of plasma to tens of millions of degrees, and the eruption of large amounts of solar mass.
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.
