The sun's surface has a mottled appearance, known as granulation, because of its convection currents. At any one time, about four million of these currents cover the sun's surface.

What is the grainy texture on the sun's surface produced by numerous bright markings called?
It's called granulation. (Also, I think it's actually a separate thing from the bright spots.)
What is responsible for the sun's surface and atmospheric activity?
The sun's magnetic field.
Which parts of the Sun's radiation are responsible for heating Earth's surface?
Visible and infrared
What Is Mars Description?
Mars is a terrestrial planet. It has a reddish appearance due to the presence of iron oxide on its surface.
What is granulation on the sun caused by?
The grainieness is caused by convective cells at the sun's sufrace. Hooter material rises up at the centers of these "grains" (called granules) while less hot material sinks around their edges. Each granule is several hundred miles across.
What is the bubbling effect seen on the surface of the sun?
I think this refers to "granulation".
Granulation on the Sun's surface is caused by what activity?
Electromagnetism, or the twisting of the magnetic field lines on the surface of the sun.
The mottled appearance visible on the surface of the Sun produced by the underlying convection is called?
This effect on the suns photosphere is from large cells or grains which are about 100 km accross. There is hotter rising gas at the centre with falling cooler gas at the edge of these cells, which are constantly shifting every few minutes. These cells or grains are contained within much larger structures called super granules, which are around 30,000 km in size and last for several hours.
The grainy appearance of the sun and surface is due to moving columns of gases called?
The bright markings are "faculae" (plural of facula). However, I wouldn't say that they produce the grainy texture. I think the "granulation" is there even without the faculae.
What is it called when the damage of the epidermis isn't severe and the surface epithelium migrates beneath the dry scab and across the surface of the granulation tissue?
Regeneration
