• Sun flares are eruptions of intense light and radiation from the Sun’s surface. They can affect Earth’s magnetosphere, which can in turn disrupt radio communications and power grids.
• Solar activity can also affect human consciousness. Some people report feeling more anxious or irritable during periods of high solar activity. However, the scientific evidence for this is mixed.
• Solar activity has been linked to environmental issues such as wildfires. However, the relationship is complex and not fully understood.
• Gold mining in Africa can sometimes involve the use of magnetics to locate gold deposits.

However, it is unlikely that solar activity would have a significant impact on this process.
