    Like, it would be daylight for 25 hours?

    No, day/night is because the earth rotates. Solar flares have nothing to do with that.

    Statistically tho we’re way over due for a massive solar flare. And it would pretty much blow every electrical transformer on the day side of the planet when it hits.

    To replace all of them would be a massive undertaking and could potentially take years to restore electrical grids everywhere.

    So they’re a concern, just no idea what you’re talking about with a 25 hour day.
