Abstract
The magnetic polarity distributions in sunspot groups which produced solar proton flares have been analyzed. It is shown that the fluid motion in sunspot groups and below may be responsible for the origin of inverted or unusual polarity distributions, since rotating motion in these spot groups is often observed. Since such motion seems to produce twisting of magnetic field lines above sunspot groups, the origin of solar flares seems to be closely dependent on instability associated with this twisting of sunspot field lines in the chromosphere and the lower corona.
