At present we can observe the origin of only the solar component of cosmic rays. The sun emits cosmic rays in connexion with flares and probably also continuously on a smaller scale. Thus the emission of cosmic rays appears to be connected much more closely with non-thermal radio emission than with thermal radiation of light and heat.
