SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -A solar prominence (also known as a filament when viewed against the solar disk) is a large, bright feature extending outward from the Sun’s surface. Prominences are anchored to the Sun’s surface in the photosphere, and extend outwards into the Sun’s hot outer atmosphere, called the corona.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two basic types of prominences: (1) quiescent, or long-lived, and (2) transient. The former are associated with large-scale magnetic fields, marking the boundaries of unipolar magnetic regions or sunspot groups.

Detailed explanation-3: -solar prominence, dense cloud of incandescent ionized gas projecting from the Sun’s chromosphere into the corona. Prominences sometimes extend hundreds of thousands of kilometres above the Sun’s chromosphere. Their causes are uncertain but probably involve magnetic forces.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. Ask your own question!
