Detailed explanation-1: -The prominence plasma flows along a tangled and twisted structure of magnetic fields generated by the sun’s internal dynamo. An erupting prominence occurs when such a structure becomes unstable and bursts outward, releasing the plasma.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solar storms cause damage to communication systems. During geomagnetic storms some radio frequencies are absorbed and others are reflected, leading to rapidly fluctuating signals and unexpected propagation paths (reproducing or multiplying in unplanned directions). Public and amateur radio is frequently disrupted.
Detailed explanation-3: -Solar prominences do not always affect the Earth, but they can. The solar flare aspect of a prominence has the biggest impact on Earth. This releases energy particles into space, which can impact the Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -The largest prominence on record streamed more than 800, 000 km (500, 000 miles) into the corona; that’s about the radius of the Sun. These solar features can last from just a few days to over a few months. When a prominence breaks free of the Sun, astronomers call this detachment a coronal mass ejection, or CME.
