Solar tornadoes are magnetic spiral structures that form when huge injections of plasma from the Sun's surface shoots upward. This charged, superheated gas travels "along the helical shape of the structure's magnetic field, giving rise to a coherent rotation of material," says Xing Li, an astronomer at Aberystwyth University in Wales, who co-authored the new study describing the observed vortex.
Yes, tornadoes can form. Hundreds, even thousands of tornadoes form every year.
Enormous vortices have been observed on the sun that resemble tornadoes. They have been called "solar tornadoes" but they are not tornadoes by the meteorological definition.

Yes. Tornadoes form from cumulonimbus clouds.
When thunderstorms occur with strong, intense winds. tornadoes form when those winds start to rotate tornadoes form
Antarctica is too cold for tornadoes to form. Tornadoes need energy from warm air.
Tornadoes can only form during thunderstorms.
Yes. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms, usually supercells.
