Summary: I am going to find out if solar flares can be harmful to people. I also want to find some interesting facts about solar flares. My question is can solar flares be harmful to the earth, and my hypothesis is that solar flares will affect machinery but not people.

Source of My Idea: I got my idea from my science classes on matter, where I learned about plasma. I knew I wanted to do something about plasma, and when I got into plasma astrophysics, I thought solar flares would be a great idea.
