The sun don't really need sunspots cause sunspots are related to several features on the sun's surface but prominences and solar flares need sunspots.
Sunspots are the places where the magnetic field lines of the Sun poke out of the Sun to form loops.

Where they poke out they are seens as prominences against the edge of the Sun's visible disk during an eclipse of the Sun.

The looped magnetic field lines contain energy and are unstable, When they break and reconnect they release this energy suddenly and cause solar flares.

The names of 2 types of solar features?

Two types of solar features are sunspots and solar flares. Sunspots are dark spots on the Sun's surface caused by magnetic activity. Solar flares are sudden bursts of energy and radiation released from the Sun's atmosphere.

What causes solar prominence?

I wish I knew!! I'm pretty sure though that the sunspots, flares, and prominences all connect and have to do with magnetic energy and the sun's atmosphere.


Why do solar flares occur near rigions of sunspots?

Solar flares occur near regions of sunspots because sunspots are areas of intense magnetic activity on the Sun's surface. These strong magnetic fields can become twisted and tangled, leading to the release of energy in the form of solar flares. The interaction between magnetic fields in sunspots creates conditions that are conducive to the occurrence of solar flares.

Describe the similarities between a solar flare and a solar prominence?

Both solar flares and solar prominences are magnetic disturbances that occur on the Sun's surface. They both involve the release of a large amount of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Solar flares and prominences are often associated with sunspots and can have significant impacts on space weather.
