I always thought it had more to do with solar flares than anything else.

In a word, no. HF Skip is entirely caused by the electrical charge of atmospheric E-layer. Mostly affected by solar activity.

Sunspots, sporadic-e, cb radio propagation are all good to google. This will help you understand skip and what makes it possible.
We're talking to South America in the evening and Australia in the morning. CB ROCKS!!!!!!
