Do solar flares greatly increase the solar wind from the carona?
yes
What feature can increase the solar wind sometimes causing electrical problems on earth?
Solar Flares
Match each term to its definition solar wind?
Solar Flares - A Big Explosion on the surface of the sun Sunspots - Every 11 years there is a peak in the number of them Solar Winds - Gives comets their tails (I apologize for the last answer. I never used Answers before. Hopefully, this helps)
Sentence with solar wind in it?
Solar wind
What is a solar wind?
solar wind is the continuous flow of charged particles from the sun that permeates the solar system.
Do solar flares greatly increase the solar wind from the carona?
yes
What solar feature can increase the solar wind?
Solar flares can increase solar wind.
What are loops of gas on the sun that link different parts of sunspot together?
It has to be solar flares, supra-sunspots, solar wind, or prominences.
What solar can increase the solar wind?
magnetic fields
What are loops of gas on the sun that link different parts of sunspot regions together?
It has to be solar flares, supra-sunspots, solar wind, or prominences.
Can you describe four types of storms on the sun?
Prominence: the huge bright arches or loops of gas. it sometimes bend backward and shower the gases back onto the sun.Solar Flares: the bright bursts of light on the sun's surface. Huge amount of energy are released into space during a solar flare. Solar Wind: A continuous stream of high-energy particles is released into space in all directions from the sun's corona. Solar flares sometimes increase the speed and strength of the solar wind. This increase in the solar wind can interfere with radio signals and telephone communications on Earth. Sunspots: the dark areas on the sun's surfaces. Sunspots are storms in the lower atmosphere of the sun. The number of sunspots that appear on the sun very active sunspot activity seen tooccurevery ten to eleven years. This activity interferes with communication systems on Earth.
When solar flares increase solar wind from corona what do they cause earth upper atmosphere?
The Aurora.
When solar flares increase solar wind from corona what do they cause in earth's upper atmosphere?
The Aurora.
What feature can increase the solar wind sometimes causing electrical problems on earth?
Solar Flares
Which heavenly body has flares and prominences?
The sun is the heavenly body that has flares and prominences. Sunspots and solar wind are other natural phenomena associated with the sun.
Magnetic storms are a result of an increase in solar wind caused by eruptions on the sun called?
Solar flares.
How does sunspots effect lie on earth?
Sunspots are portions of the sun that are cooler than the surrounding material and look darker even without the aid of a telescope. The cooler temperatures create increased magnetic activity. An increased amount of sunspots can cause more solar wind to flow from the sun. Solar wind is a flow of charged particles that are able to escape the sun's atmosphere because of their increased energy. Some astronomers believe parts of comet tails are also the result of solar wind. The particles in the solar wind can interact with the upper part of the earth's atmosphere, called the ionosphere. Sunspots occur in cycles or seasons, just as many regions on earth have a rainy season. A sunspot sighted on January 4, 2008 began a new 11-year cycle (Sunspot Cycle 24). High levels of solar wind can even bring a solar storm where large quantities of magnetized material is send into the earth's atmosphere. Though not physically dangerous, this material interferes with electronic equipment. A solar storm has the potential to knockout communications satellites, interfere with radio waves, and destroy GPS data.
