Sun unleashes Solar Flare of M4.4 scale; The most powerful flare in 3 years

Sun consists of 99.8% of  mass of our Solar system, and it is me of 70.6% hydrogen and 27.4% helium by mass. However, ermously heated ball of gas, our home star, has unleashed its most powerful solar eruption in more than three years, as per .com. This event was recorded on Sunday.

Sun unleashes most powerful solar eruption

According to a new report by .com, on vember 29, 2020, Sun has experienced a sudden solar eruption which is widely kwn as Solar Flare. bright explosion of electromagnetic energy is said to be an M4.4 on scale astromers use for Sun storms. scale consists of three classes, C class, M class and X class flares in which C is small, M is medium and X is large. scale also has ranks from 1 to 9, with larger numbers representing stronger flares. So, recent most powerful solar flare in more than three years was a medium eruption with rank of 4.4 on Sun storms' scale.

This powerful Solar Flare of M4.4 was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection. Coronal mass ejections commonly accompany flares and y are large releases of plasma and magnetic fields from sun's corona which is outermost layer. As per Scientists, flare kicked off 25th Solar Cycle which was started in December 2019 and anunced in September 2020. previous cycle ran from 2008 to 2019.

Solar wear is an 11-year long cycle and after passing of this duration, a new cycle begins. 25th Solar Cycle is expected by scientists to be as quiet as 24th cycle. Such large explosions on Sun can affect Earth as well as y contain incredible bursts of electromagnetic riation that can cause rio blackouts and or techlogical disruptions. An X Class solar flare might be capable of causing rio blackouts around globe whereas M Class flares just do some mir consequences on our home planet. However, M4.4 solar flare of vember 2020 is most powerful solar flare scientists have observed in more than three years.
