A solar flare is a burst of electromagnetic energy. This causes disturbances in the earth’s magnetic field, and our magnetic field usually protects electronics on earth from inducting current from all of the EMI. A very strong solar flare could damage electronics on Earth should one ever hit. They aren’t as dangerous to us as they are to our electronics.
