What is it the fiery arms or loops extending from the suns surface called?

The fiery arms or loops extending from the sun's surface are called solar prominences. These are large, bright features that extend outward from the sun's surface, often in a loop shape, and are composed of plasma. Solar prominences are associated with the sun's magnetic field and can last for several hours to days before dissipating.


What are the large bright features called that erupt from the surface of the Sun are made of relatively cool plasma and usually have a loop-shape?

The large bright features that erupt from the surface of the Sun are called solar prominences. These structures are composed of relatively cool plasma and often take on a loop-like shape, extending outward from the Sun's surface. Solar prominences are associated with the Sun's magnetic field and can last for days to weeks before dissipating. They are often observed during solar flares and contribute to the dynamic nature of the solar atmosphere.


WHAT IS A Loop of relatively cool gas on the surface of the sun?

A loop of relatively cool gas on the surface of the sun is known as a solar prominence. These features are composed of ionized gas, or plasma, and are often observed as large, bright arcs or loops that extend outward from the sun's surface. Solar prominences are held in place by the sun's magnetic fields and can last for days or weeks before dissipating or collapsing back to the sun's surface. They are typically cooler than the surrounding solar atmosphere, which contributes to their distinct appearance.


Are the suns rays concentrated over a smaller surface in winter?

yes they are


How is energy transferred from the suns core to the Suns surface in the radiative zone and in the convective zone?

In the Sun's radiative zone, energy is transferred through radiation, where photons are absorbed and re-emitted by particles, taking a long time—up to thousands of years—to reach the outer layers. In the convective zone, energy transfer occurs via convection, where hot plasma rises to the surface, cools, and then sinks, creating a continuous cycle that efficiently transports energy to the Sun’s surface. This combination of radiative and convective processes ensures that energy generated in the core eventually reaches the surface, where it can radiate into space.

What is the suns crust made of?

What is The path of the photons through the suns plasma is called?

The path of photons through the Sun's plasma is called radiative diffusion. Photons travel through the Sun's plasma by bouncing off charged particles in a random walk pattern until they reach the surface and are emitted as sunlight.
