You're thinking of a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection). It's a whopping cloud of charged gas that (if moving in the right direction) gets from the Sun to the Earth in a few days and severely messes up radio communications.

What is the name of the loops of gas found on the sun?

The loops of gas found on the sun are called solar prominences. They are large, bright features that extend out from the sun's surface into its outer atmosphere, known as the corona, and are typically associated with the sun's magnetic field.


What is a loop of gas that links different parts of sunspot regions?

The loop of gas that links different parts of sunspot regions is called a filament. Filaments are cooler and denser structures that appear as dark lines against the brighter surface of the Sun. These structures are supported by magnetic fields and can sometimes erupt, leading to solar flares or coronal mass ejections.


What are the flamelike columns of gas that continually erupt from the lowest layer of the suns atmosphere?

The flamelike columns of gas that continually erupt from the lowest layer of the Sun's atmosphere are known as solar prominences. These large, bright features extend outward from the Sun's surface and are composed of plasma, which is a hot, ionized gas. Solar prominences are often associated with solar activity, such as sunspots and solar flares, and can last for days to weeks before dissipating or collapsing back into the Sun's atmosphere.


What order are the photosphere the chromosphere and the corona in?

The photosphere is the outermost layer of the Sun, followed by the chromosphere, and then the corona. The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun, while the chromosphere is a layer of hot, ionized gas above it. The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, extending millions of kilometers into space.


What is the prominences of the sun?

Solar prominences are large looping structures of hot, glowing gas that extend from the Sun’s surface into the outer atmosphere, or corona. They can be seen during total solar eclipses or with special equipment that blocks out the brightness of the Sun. Prominences are caused by complex magnetic interactions within the Sun.

What are the arcs of gas that erupt from the surface of the sun called?

Those arcs of gas that erupt from the surface of the sun are called solar prominences. They are large, bright, gaseous features that can extend outward from the Sun's surface into the corona. Solar prominences are often associated with solar flares and can be visible during total solar eclipses.


Is solar corona the fifth state of matter?

yes solar corona is the fifth state of matter. some say that filaments are the fifth but it is also true. filaments are just in solar coronas and is positively charged. i know its a plain answer but it wraps up to pretty much that.


Does hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?

No they do not erupt more explosively. It depends on its gas and its viscosity. Kilauea in Hawaii does not erupt more explosive.


What is the one feature on the sun that is clearly visible during a solar eclipse?

The corona, which is the outer atmosphere of the sun, is visible as a faint, pearly-white halo around the sun during a solar eclipse. It appears as wispy tendrils and streams of light extending outward from the sun's surface.


What makes composite volcanoes to erupt?

Ash and Gas make composite volcanoes erupt i believe

What are the mountains of gas coming out of the sun's corona?

Sunspots.


What shoots out of a volcano during an eruption?

It depends on the type of eruption. Some will erupt lava or a mixture of lava and gas. Others will erupt gas, ash, and pumice.


Do oceanic hot-spots tend to erupt more than other volcanoes?

No they do not erupt explosively. It depends on its gas an its viscosity. Kilauea in Hawaii does not erupt explosively.

How many times will a volcano erupt on Jupiter?

No volcanoes will erupt on Jupiter because it is a gas planet. As far as science knows there is no solid ground within the gas of Jupiter, therefore no volcanoes can exist.


Do these hot spot volanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?

no they do not erupt more explosively. It depends on its gas and on its viscosity. an example is Kilauea in Hawaii it does not erupt explosively.
