Answer:

Solar flares occur when a buildup of magnetic energy on the sun is suddenly released. They usually erupt from sunspots, temporary dark and relatively cool patches on our star's surface where the local magnetic field is very strong. Flares generate a burst of radiation across a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Magnetic energy builds up in the sun.
- When the energy is released, this is called a solar flare.
