SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Prominences are bright arch-like loops that may erupt from the photosphere into the corona. Often associated with sunspot activity, prominences release large amounts of energy out into space.

Detailed explanation-2: -A prominence is an extension of gas that arches up from the surface of the Sun. Prominences are sculpted by magnetic fields that are generated inside the Sun, and then burst through the surface, propelling themselves into the solar atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prominences appear either as flame-coloured projections when the disk of the Sun is totally eclipsed or as dark ribbons (called filaments) when viewed through a spectroscope.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solar flare-an eruption of gas from the sun’s surface that occurs when the loops in sunspot regions suddenly connect.
