#6 is right about Earth being protected by a strong magnetic field, but this solar flare was really intense and our magnetic field would have been useless against such a huge coronal mass ejection

#6, the earth has protection from uv radiation, a decent sized solar flare could incinterate us if it hit us bang on.
