Abstract
Solar flares take place in the solar corona due to release of magnetic energy accumulated in the magnetic field of current sheet during instability of the current sheet.Solar cosmic rays are accelerated in the inductive electric field of the current sheet. The magnetic field of the solar wind forms the shape of an Archimedes spiral and affects the propagation of solar cosmic rays in interplanetary space. The modern detection of giant flares on the class G star dwarfs with the energy significantly exceeding the energy of the solar flares indicates the possibility of proton acceleration beyond the boundary of the solar system to energies significantly greater than the energy of solar cosmic rays. The recent experimental data shows that the energy of the stellar flares can exceed energy of 1036 erg. It is by 3-4 orders greater than the energy of a large solar flare, and, apparently, the energy of the protons accelerated in these stellar flares can significantly exceed the energy of the particles registered from flares on the Sun. Thus, the flare can be a universal astronomical process responsible for proton acceleration on the Sun and on the stars.
