Solar Flares
Solar flares occur when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is released. When prominences touch, there are explosions that release the energy.

Auroras
From the earth, we can see bands of colorful light that we call auroras. Auroras come from particles from the sun that speed out in a steady stream. When particles trapped near earth are released, there is a reaction, and oxygen and nitrogen molecules release photons of light.
