Solar flares, intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun, impact Earth's upper atmosphere by ionizing it and causing communication blackouts. These events can also increase drag on satellites and pose health risks to astronauts due to increased radiation exposure. Understanding these effects is crucial for protecting technology and human life in space.
