{{w|Solar flare}}s appear on the Sun's surface in different numbers at different times. A {{w|solar cycle}} is the amount of time that elapses between times of maximum (or minimum) solar flare activity. This period is approximately 11 years. | {{w|Solar flare}}s appear on the Sun's surface in different numbers at different times.

− | + | People are interested in solar flares because they can sometimes cause aurorae, as well as power outages and other similar issues. Hence people will search "solar flares" on Google to learn more about them. This trend somewhat matches the solar cycle since people will be more interested/concerned about solar flares during the times they are abundant and search them up more often. Randall notes that Google has existed for long enough to see the trend in searches for "solar flare" matching the solar cycle. | |
