Do solar flares happen mostly in the morning?
I've started monitoring the occurence of solar flares (http://www.tesis.lebedev.ru/en/sun_flares.html) and noticed that all the ones I've seen have occurred in the morning. I didn't expect this. Okay, I have only been looking for a couple of weeks which is hardly anything, but it's starting to seem like a pattern. Just chance? I then read that solar flares peak around May and September. Again, I wouldn't have expected this, as surely the sun's activity is not related to the earth's orbit, is it?
So, does anyone know if solar flares do happen mostly in the morning, and peak around May and September. If so, why?
Are there always this many rude, stupid people in the astronomy section? I just asked a question looking for confirmation. Either answer straight or shut-up and go gossip somewhere else.

Considering that it's morning at some place on Earth, you could say that solar flares always happen in the morning. Equally, they might just as well happen in the afternoon, evening or night.
The Earth's rotation and orbital motion have nothing to do with solar flares.

Actually, solar flares does not have any specific time to occur. But, solar flares have an 11-year cycle. Every 11 years, the number of solar flares maxed. 5.5 years later, it decreased and 5.5 years later, it increased. This caused the Maunder Minimum during the 1600s.
Okay, these phenomena was caused by the decrease in sunspots. But, the sunspots were actually made from the solar flares.

No, solar flares have an equal probability of occurring at any time of day, or on any date of the year. The Earth's rotation and revolution have nothing to do with solar activity.

no person on right here works at NASA, because of the fact they have busy issues to do. notwithstanding as a physics significant i can assist you. image voltaic flares are occuring each and every 2d on the solar, they ensue while the solar's magnetic flux lines omit, ejecting extensive ''a lot'' of charged debris into area. maximum of them are not aimed in the direction of us nevertheless. somewhat the charged debris (which take some hours-couple of days to realize us, effect our magnetic field and return and forth alongside the flux lines to the poles. lots of the time it is extremely noticable (what motives the Aurora), notwithstanding, now and then (particularly each and every 11 years of the solar's image voltaic cycle) some extra effective flares spark up and adequate charged debris can effect our magnetic field that they could intrude with our ionisphere, which extremely some our technological verbal substitute operates in context to. That suggested, satellites in area are very susceptible as they have no magnetic protecting, notwithstanding, they are in many cases placed on a dirfferent direction so the flares omit them, keeping off GPS/information superhighway/communications blackouts. (nevertheless it has took place earlier. in all risk the worst element a image voltaic hurricane can do is set off currents in circuits, overloading (and for that reason damaging) them. nevertheless this demands a brilliant image voltaic hurricane to realize. there develop into an extremely alrge one final twelve months and all that did develop into distort radio verbal substitute for some hours. The image voltaic optimal is in early 2013, that's why the enws is talkiing approximately it. Yopu can no longer are looking forward to image voltaic flares like earthquakes, you could in basic terms are looking forward to the possibility that they are going to ensue. do no longer worry approximately it.

Morning for who?
As the Earth rotates, it's always morning somewhere in the World. Duh
EDIT: Are there always as many dumb people asking questions on here who become rude when they have their own stupidity pointed out to them?
