What is the averagevelocity of a solar flare?


Question:


Answer:
A solar flare can travel at up to a million miles per hour. That's fast, but nowhere near the speed of light, which is 669,600,000 mph, 669 times faster. Earth is an average of 91.5 million miles from the Sun, so the effects of a solar flare don't reach us until 91.5 hours after it occurs, or nearly four days.
Nearly the speed of light.
The speed of light or below it.

Around 100,000 miles a sec
