the sun's magnetic field is responsible for sun spots and "space weather". the sun is a ball of plasma, a gas comprised of ions and electrons rather than neutral atoms. because ions and electrons have charge, they attach themselves to magnetic field lines. the sun rotates, so the material in the sun is in motion, however the equator and poles rotate at different speeds. this causes the magnetic field (which is locked into the material) to twist and contort, occasionally snapping and rebounding manifesting as solar flares, sunspots, and various other phenomena.
