The twisted magnetic field of the Sun traps plasma inside its arch. When the magnetic arch eventually breaks because of so much twisting, the plasma trapped inside goes flying out into space.

Solar flares are vast clouds of electrically charged subatomic particles that are continually blasted away from the Sun.
