Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Solar flares strongly affect the atomic particles leaving the Sun. The "blast wave" propagates through the solar wind at 1500 km sec -1, disturbing the solar wind flow at the Earth. Protons, electrons and atomic nuclei are accelerated to high energies in flares - we call these solar cosmic rays. 4, record 1, English, - solar%20cosmic%20rays

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Rayonnement formé de particules de grande énergie, comme les électrons ou les noyaux atomiques, produites en relation avec les éruptions solaires. 1, record 1, French, - rayonnement%20cosmique%20solaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Les éruptions solaires sont de violents cataclysmes intéressants une petite partie de la surface. Des particules peuvent être éjectées à des vitesses relativistes de l'ordre de 30,000 km/s, constituant les rayons cosmiques solaires. Leur temps de transit Soleil-Terre est de quelques dizaines de minutes, et elles peuvent perturber les hautes couches de l'atmosphère. 3, record 1, French, - rayonnement%20cosmique%20solaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Comme les rayons cosmiques solaires pourraient constituer un danger non négligeable pour l'homme dans l'espace, la surveillance du Soleil et la prévision de son activité, singulièrement des éruptions à protons, revêt une importance pratique dans la préparation et l'exécution des vols spatiaux. 3, record 1, French, - rayonnement%20cosmique%20solaire
