Answer:

magnetic energy (proton) and magnetic plasma.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The solar fare consists of bright light that occurs in various wavelengths and is observed at the surface.
  • They are not as strong as compared to the coronal mass ejection or CME. The solar fares consist of 10²² joules, while the plasma is ejected from the solar corona and can be clearly seen from a distance.
  • The Solar flares represent an atmospheric disturbance and plasms are the medium for the growth and development of solar flare and lead to solar activity.
