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.
Why is the ozone in the stratosphere a desirable gas?
Because the ozone layer in the stratosphere contains oxygen and it protects the surface of earth from the suns ultraviolet rays... :) hope this helped
Which gas is not produced by volcanic eruptions?
oxygen
What would happen if the layers of gas around the earth absorbed all the suns energy?
If layers of gas around the earth absorbed all of the suns energy, the climate would generally be much cooler. If the gasses trapped the sunlight prior to exposure, the energy of the sun would never penetrate to the ground surface.
Gas trapped in magma under high pressure can cause explosive eruptions.?
Yes. The gas is actually the primary driving force behind explosive eruptions.
What gas makes up the majority of the suns surface?
Hydrogen.
What does the suns surface look like?
It is a very bright mass of roiling gas or plasma.
A dark area of gas on the suns surface that is cooler than surrounding gases?
It is called a sunspot.
What is the sun's prominience?
A prominence is when a solar flare ejects matter from the suns surface as a stream of incandescent gas.

Is it possible to stand on a gas giant?
No. A gas giant, as the term implies, is made of gas and has no solid surface.
Which term is defined as the change is physical state from liquid to gas at the surface of a liquid?
The change from liquid to gas at the surface of a liquid is known as vaporization.
Is the sun gas or liquid or solid?
the suns a gas
Which term refers to an outer planet that consists mostly of gas and does not have a rocky surface?
Gas giantA "gas giant" planet.
