It’s #WeatherReady Wednesday! Solar flares are huge explosions of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun lasting from minutes to hours. They are seen as enhancements in optical and extreme ultraviolet/x-ray wavelengths; and can be detected as bursts of noise in radio wavelengths. Solar flares occur in a large range of strengths, have emissions that travel at the speed of light, and reach Earth in eight minutes. They can cause radio blackouts on the sunlit side of the Earth. To learn about radio blackouts, visit www.swpc.noaa.gov/phenomena/solar-flares-radio-blackouts. #SpaceWeather
