What is an arched eruption of gas from the sun's surface?
An arched eruption of gas from the sun's surface is called a solar prominence. These immense looping structures of cooler, denser plasma can extend thousands of miles into space and are typically caused by the sun's magnetic field. Solar prominences are easily seen during solar eclipses, highlighting the sun's dynamic and active nature.
What is an eruption of gas on the sun held up by magnetic fields?
They are called prominences.
An eruption of gas on the sun held up by magnetic fields?
The eruption of gas on the sun, known as a solar flare, occurs when magnetic fields in the sun's atmosphere become twisted or stressed. These magnetic fields can trap and hold the hot gas near the sun's surface until they release in a burst of energy, creating a solar flare.
What effect do clouds dust and gas molecules have on radiant energy traveling through the atmosphere?
They have an albedo effect, that is, they reflect some of the sun's heat. This is why there is often a period of cooling after a large volcanic eruption.
How did the gas get in to space to make the sun?
The gas was in space from the beginning of the Universe - the Big Bang. Eventually, gravity pulled parts of this gas together, to make the Sun, as well as other stars.
Does hydrogen gas occupies space?
Yes, the sun.
Is the spectacular eruption of gas from the surface of the sun called a sunspot?
No. A sunspot is a slightly cooler area of the surface associated with magnetic disturbances within the Sun. The eruptions of gas are called prominences, and they are related to the phenomenon called solar flares.
How did the sun get up in the sky?
The sun is a large, hot sphere of gas, which condensed out of an even larger but cooler cloud of gas some five billion years ago. The position of the sun in the sky is what we see from our perspective here on Earth, but the sun is in outer space, some 93 million miles away from Earth.
How scientists think the solar system formed.?
They believe a large gas cloud in space was condensed into what we now call the sun. Chunks of this cloud flew into orbit around the sun and eventually condensed into planets.
What are the large objects in space that orbit a star such as the sun?
The answer is planets.
