Solar Flares

The Sun is a star that is a big ball of gas.  It is five billion years old, it is very hot and it can also disturb technology on Earth.  The Sun shoots  out solar flares that send particles out into space that travel to Earth.  It doesn’t actually reach Earth though.  Earth has a magnetic, invisible shield  around it.  When the  particles reach the shield they follow the   path  to   the  North  and  South  Poles.   In the south you get an Aurora Australis and in the north you get a Aurora Borealis.
