GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Most often these eruptions are in the form of loops and sheets called prominences, but there are other events which in a matter of minutes can release enormous amounts of energy and eject material out into space. Such violent events are called solar flares.

Detailed explanation-2: -A prominence is anchored to the sun; the arch does not separate and go into space. A solar flare, though, will travel through space, since it is a release of energy. A solar prominence can break down and release a solar flare, but that does not always happen.

Detailed explanation-3: -The magnetic field lines near sunspots often tangle, cross, and reorganize. This can cause a sudden explosion of energy called a solar flare. Solar flares release a lot of radiation into space. If a solar flare is very intense, the radiation it releases can interfere with our radio communications here on Earth.
