An eruption of gas in an arc or loop from the solar surface is called a prominence, which is often tied to a brightening of the Sun or "solar flare."

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.


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.


Three events that might signal a volcanic eruption are changes in earthquake activity volcano surface bulges?

Three events that might signal a volcanic eruption are changes in earthquake activity, volcano surface bulges, and increased gas emissions. These changes can indicate rising magma beneath the surface, which may lead to an eruption.


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.


Is the sun gas or liquid or solid?

the suns a gas


Why do some volcanoes erupt ash and others lava?

The style of the volcanic eruption is very dependent on the amount of dissolved gas that is in the magma (liquid rock below the surface). If there is a high gas content the volcanic eruption will be explosive and create a log of ash. If the gas content is low the eruption produces more lava flows. An example of a high gas content eruption was the last major eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980. An example of a low gas content eruption would be the Hawaiian volcanoes.


What type of eruption does a cinder cone volcano have?

It depends upon the amount and pressure of a gas when it reaches the surface.


What caused the eruption of the Arenal volcano in Costa Rica on June 29th 1968?

All volcanoes erupt for the same reason: magma making its way to the surface of the water inside the volcano, where it turns into steam and gas. The steam and gas propels the magma from the volcano, causing the eruption.


What gas is part of the suns compositions?

Hydrogen


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.
