The sun spins faster at the equator then at the poles, this causes a difference in magnetic fields. Once one is looped, the temperature of the area will decrease, causing a sun spot
Sunspots are caused by the intense magnetic field of the sun, they usually occur the most during the high peak of the solar cycle.

Coronal loops of ions whipped around by mega-magnetic 'field lines' are how the prominences and flares on the sun can best be described.

∙ 13y agoThe cause of the 11 year sunspot cycle is a matter of ongoing debate, especially over the last couple of years while Solar Cycle 23 was pretty much over, but Cycle 24 had not yet begun. The beginnings of Cycle 24 had been expected from mid-2007 on, but it didn't begin until December 2009. Before that, there had been a period of about 3 years of almost no sunspots at all.
Ask this question again in about 3 years; there will certainly be more of an answer then than we have now.

Blasts of gas from the sun's atmosphere that sometimes form enormous loops?
Solar flares. I think the answer is "solar prominences".
What does the sun erupting mean?
There are huge (several times the size of the earth) storms on the surface of the Sun, sometimes these cause gigantic flares to expand out from the surface of the star into space. These "flares" are said to "erupt".
Name and describe seven features of the active Sun?
Sunspots: sunspots are cooler and darker regions of the Sun's photosphere created by magnetic fields piercing that region of the Sun's visible surface. (2) Plages: plages are bright regions in the chromosphere associated with magnetic fields in the process of emerging from the Sun. (3) Flares: flares are ejections of large volumes of gas. These gases sometimes head our way, causing auroras and radio interference. A flare is a much less massive ejection than a coronal mass ejection (4) Filaments, and (5) Prominences: filaments and prominences are the same feature seen from different angles. They are loops of magnetic fields carrying gases aloft. (6) Coronal holes: coronal holes are dark, and therefore cooler, portions of the corona that appear over sunspots. They are called 'holes' because these cooler areas of the corona act as conduits for gases to flow out of the sun. (7) Coronal mass ejections: coronal mass ejections and flares are ejections of large volumes of gas. These gases sometimes head our way, causing auroras and radio interference. For all of the features of the active sun listed and described above, magnetic fields play important roles in determining the activity of the active sun.
Active magnetic eruptions that burst into space from the surface of the sun are called .?
solar flares.
When did the last solar flare happen?
There are generally solar flares every few days, and almost always within a week or so. Really spectacular flares are more common during the "Solar Max" period around the peak of the sunspot cycle. That will be in 2013 or so. You can see recent movies of solar flares and prominences at http://thesuninmotion.com/
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.
What features can be found on the surface of the sun?
solar flares, sun spots, and prominences
What object in the solar system has flares and prominences?
The Sun... :)
Which features of the sun look like huge cloudlike arches?
Prominences
How are sunspots sun flares and prominences related?
the intense magnetic fields
How are prominences solar flares corona solar wind are related to the sun?
sun prominences are like loops that come out of the sun if you look it up you'll probly find pictures. solar flares are like prominences but they dont make a loop they just go straight out. the corona is the outer most layer of the sun.
Blasts of gas from the sun's atmosphere that sometimes form enormous loops?
Solar flares. I think the answer is "solar prominences".
How do sun spots relate ro prominences and solar flares?
wrongto much heatsolar flares are ejected from the sun every so often
How did the appearance of the sun be different if it did not have a magnetic field?
The sun wouldn't have prominences, solar flares, or sunspots.
The layer of the sun's atmosphere that is responsible for flares spicules and prominences?
chromosphere
Massive eruption from the surface of the sun?
Solar flares and prominences could fit this description.
Prominences and flares on the sun are related to sunspots because they all are caused by eartlths orbit around the sun?
No. Sunspots are related to prominences and flares because they are all caused by imperfections in the Sun's magnetic field. A sun spot is the base of a prominence (they are the same phenomenon) and Solar flares are just enormous prominances. The Earth has no effect whatsoever on the Sun. (Apart from a few very minor technicalities.)
