  • Sunspots, Prominences, Flames And Coronal Mass Ejections

    1575 Words  | 7 Pages

    Abstract A diversity of eruptions of energy and mass emerging from solar surfaces produced what we know as Solar Flames. The common indications of solar activity are sunspots, prominences, flames and coronal mass ejections which also includes plages and other linked phenomena seen at different wavelengths. All these engage in the sudden discharging of stored magnetic energy, which in turn accelerates the hot gases in the corona or near the surface of the sun. In some occasions, these particles reach all the ways towards earth and even beyond it by flowing alongside with the Sun’s magnetic field.
