SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Loops in sunspot regions (prominences) sometimes suddenly connect releasing large amounts of magnetic energy. The energy heats gas on the Sun to millions of degrees Celcius causing the gas to erupt into space. A sudden release of energy occurs when prominences link together.

Detailed explanation-2: -Although prominences appear to be very bright and hot, they are actually much cooler and denser than the surrounding plasma in the Sun’s corona. Prominences are shaped by the Sun’s complex magnetic field, often forming loops with each end anchored to the Sun’s surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flexi Says: Sunspots occur in pairs because each is one side of a loop of the Sun’s magnetic field that reaches the Sun’s surface. These spots are cooler and darker than the rest of the Sun’s surface and they are marked by intense magnetic activity. Solar prominences are the plasma loops that connect two sunspots.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solar prominences are the plasma loops that connect two sunspots. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are eruptions of highly energetic particles that can erupt from the Sun’s surface and cause problems with power grids and communications on Earth.
