Solar flares are not the first thing that might pop into your head when you think of "natural disasters," but they can affect life here on earth. 10 to the 20th power produces an observable event and a major event can emit up to 10 to the 25th power. What energy unit are we referring to?
Answer Joules
When measured in joules, an observable solar flare is typically between 10 to the 20th power and 10 the 25th power. By comparison, an average flashlight left on for 10 minutes produces about 600 joules of energy.
