ADP keeps running ads about solar flairs that force earth into a 25 hour day. Could a solar flair even do that, and what distasters would happen if Earth's orbit changed?

No, day/night is because the earth rotates. Solar flares have nothing to do with that.
Statistically tho we’re way over due for a massive solar flare. And it would pretty much blow every electrical transformer on the day side of the planet when it hits.
To replace all of them would be a massive undertaking and could potentially take years to restore electrical grids everywhere.
So they’re a concern, just no idea what you’re talking about with a 25 hour day.
