are actually known as CME's or Coronal Mass Ejections in which the magnetic fields on the sun become so entangled that when unraveled, they release an enormous amount of energy in the form of particles and plasma
Wrong, solar flares are now known to be unrelated to CME's. A solar flare is usually followed by a CME, but not always. When intense magnetic energy is released by the collision of different magnetic lines, the photosphere is penetrated and allows the supers heated plasma of the sun to link with the corona. The particles in the corona are then super heated and accelerated and they release and intense amount of radiation known as a solar flare. Most of the radiation released is invisible to the naked eye and a solar flare is not plasma, but radiation emitted from mainly charged particles such as electrons in the corona. The flare is specifically the radiation. Some plasma may be released in this event from the plasma part of the sun which is known as a CME. CME's and solar flares are unrelated and/or the relationship is unclear but they are distinctly two things. BTW plasma is ionized gases. In the sun, those gases being mainly hydrogen and helium, a solar flare is not made of those gases but rather of electrons and protons releasing magnetic radiation.
Now what I called flames are in fact plasma and technically CME's but if I said that, most people would be confused, so for the sake of clarity as I said before, i left it as flames.
