Scientists have modeled the behavior of the Sun for many years. Some models show how the Suns magnetic field gets tangled up as the Sun rotates. These tangled magnetic fields can lift extra energy to the surface in an explosive event that releases solar material into space. Which solar event is explained by this model?

Scientists have modeled the behavior of the Sun for many years. Some models show how the Sun’s magnetic field gets tangled up as the Sun rotates. These tangled magnetic fields can lift extra energy to the surface in an explosive event that releases solar material into space. Which solar event is explained by this model?

A	auroras
B	flares
C	prominences
D	sunspots

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun is the only star in our solar system. It is the center of our solar system, and its gravity holds the solar system together. Everything in our solar system revolves around it – the planets, asteroids, comets, and tiny bits of space debris.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun’s cycle of activity was discovered by an amateur astronomer, named Heinrich Schwabe, in Germany. Schwabe conducted observations of the Sun from 1826 to 1843 and determined that the Sun rotates on its axis once in 27 days.
