What is the name for a sudden eruption from the surface of a star such as the sun?
These phenomenon are called solar flares. They are caused by the powerful magnetic fields of the sun interacting and causing an outburst of solar material.

What is granulation on the sun caused by?
The grainieness is caused by convective cells at the sun's sufrace. Hooter material rises up at the centers of these "grains" (called granules) while less hot material sinks around their edges. Each granule is several hundred miles across.
