Magnetic fields are created by electric currents that are spread throughout the entire solar system. This current causes the sun to ebb and surge on its surface. The polarity of the field is flipped when at its peak during a peak of high sunspot activity.

An eruption of gas on the sun held up by magnetic fields?
These are called prominences
Do stars have magnetic fields?
Yes just like the sun has one, Every thing regardless of size has a magnetic field.
What are the cool magnetic fields that dot the surface of the sun?
Magnetic fields that dot the surface of the sun are known as sunspots. Although they are hardly cool in temperature, they are much colder than surrounding areas, which causes them to be visible as darkened spots.
Which is NOT true about sunspots?
They are not related to magnetic fields.
Are sunspots regions of intense magnetic fields?
Yes
What generates the sun's magnetic field?
The Sun's core.
Why does the sun have so many magnetic fields?

Which part of the sun generates its magnetic field?
core
Does the sun have magnetic fields?

What feature on the sun is produced by the interaction of the sun's magnetic fields?
sunspots
Cool magnetic fields that dot the surface of the sun are .?

Do Electromagnetic waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields?
Yes, that is the whole idea of an electromagnetic waves. A changing electric field generates a changing magnetic field; a changing magnetic field generates a changing electric field; and the two of them propagate as a wave at the speed of light.
How are sunspots related to the powerful magnetic field on the sun?
sunspots are caused by the magnetic fields
How many magnetic fields does the sun have?
2 ppositive and negative
What are the dark markings on the sun produced at the site of the sun's magnetic fields called?

What is the region of the earth where the magnetic fields are formed called?

How are sunspots sun flares and prominences related?
the intense magnetic fields
