How full the magma chamber is and the amount of gas that is in the volcano.
When plates get pushed together it creates earthquakes and volcanic eruption's.
Three factors that affect the violence of a volcanic eruption are the composition of the magma (viscosity and gas content), the location of the eruption (proximity to populated areas), and the type of volcano (shield, cinder cone, stratovolcano).
The two principal factors that can determine the nature or explosiveness of a volcanic eruption is Temperature and Composition in terms of its water content, mineralogy and volatility.

Pressure and magma
The ash cloud from the island's eruption traveled eastward, affecting nearby areas with ashfall and volcanic gases.
A volcanic explosion is an eruption.

A volcanic eruption here on Earth can not affect the Sun. However, a volcanic eruption here on Earth can put particles of ash and some volcanic gases into the atmosphere that affects the transparency of Earth's atmosphere to sunlight. With the ash content the skies near the volcano go dark during the day and with the gases (especially sulfur oxides) the amount of cloud cover increases causing sunlight to be reflected and the air to cool.
Factors that determine the force of an eruption are magma viscosity and gas content.
The VEI stands for Volcanic Explosivity Index, which is a scale used to measure the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions based on factors like volume of erupted material, height of eruption column, and duration of the eruption.
