smaller flares just cause crazy auroras for a few minutes or hours
bigger solar flares like the ones that would roast our tech last for hours or days even. think of a desktop globe spinning and you shine a flashlight at it for 10 or 60 seconds, its gonna rotate in the beam of light like a rotisserie chicken.
carrington event is estimated to be in between there, as ppl didn't get roasted so it was like a small-medium flare, these things happen all the time we're just fortunate that it occurs in 3 dimensions which makes the likelihood rare, imagine tryin to hit a dart board while you are inside a rotating sphere that is rolling and pitching
gamma ray bursts same thing, but orders of magnitude worse, would turn earth into mars in less than a day
and now we're into apocalypse porn
