The fall of 5-A powerpuff girls.

I've seen this calc https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Dark-Carioca/PPG_-_Atomic_Twister_(recalc)#version_2 which gives 5-A power puff girls.
However, this calc is wrong, as it assumes that the density of the flare is equal to the average density of the sun, despite the fact that solar flares come from the outer layers of the sun. The average density of the Photosphere is 3E-4kgm^3. Here https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ad37fc we have an electron density of about 3.3E12 electrons per cm^3, assuming similar number of protons we have a density of 2E-7kg/m^3.
Adjusting the calc for this density, the lowest end value give 2.024E27J, and the highest 2.197E31. So between 6-A and low 5-B.

Source? I can only find this as evidence but it's not the same number you provide here (and likewise the results with that vary).

Given that it's an especially large and thick solar flare, and notably a far bigger threat to Earth than any other in our history, I figured using the mean density I went with was fine. @Psychomaster35 @Aguywhodoesthings @KLOL506 Sorry to bother you fellow CGMs but what are your thoughts on the above?

Also, considering the original CRT made to bump the girls was titled "the return of 5-A PPGs" (and the fact that you left two comments in the calc, months apart) this almost seems made specifically to target that CRT, and maybe that's not your intention but it really looks like that xD
 
Using the Mean density of the sun itself is abusrd since solar flares come from the Surface. CME's normally have densities that are far lower then even the surface. You're source probably applies to the "surface" or upper photosphere. Being a bigger threat then any other in history would put it greater then the Carrington event or a low end of >>1E25J.
Possible density values are here https://astronomy.stackexchange.com...in-the-suns-photosphere-which-one-of-these-is
 
The current calc uses the averaged density of the entire Sun (which includes the 150 ton/m3 core density), it'd kinda be like using the average Earth density for any cloud shenanigans

Goodbye Nappa vs PPG, hello Invincible vs PPG
