Which features of the sun look like huge cloudlike arches?
Prominences
Are there two types of solar prominences?
Yes, there are two main types of solar prominences: quiescent and eruptive prominences. Quiescent prominences are stable, long-lasting structures that appear as large, arching clouds of gas in the solar atmosphere, while eruptive prominences are dynamic and can erupt violently, often associated with solar flares or coronal mass ejections. Both types are composed of cooler plasma suspended in the hotter solar corona by magnetic fields.
What are Huge fiery arms around the sun?
You might be referring to solar prominences, which are large loops or arcs of glowing gas that extend from the Sun's surface into the corona. These prominences can appear as huge fiery arms around the Sun during events like solar flares or eruptions.
Solar flares may be seen in the sun's what?
Solar flares, sunspots and prominences are features of the sun that have some effects on Earth: 1. Sunspots- Dark areas around the surface of the sun that are cooler than surrounding areas. They appear and disappear over a period of time. The period from minimum to maximum number of appearances of sunspots is the sunspot cycle, which occurs every 11 years. Sunspots are believed to have effects on Earth's weather and climate. Low temperatures in some countries and drought in other countries were observed during a period when very few sunspots appeared on the sun's surface. 2. Prominences- Arches of gas that rise from the sun's surface and flow back to it caused by magnetic fields of sunspots. Some prominences are in the forms of loops, curtains, or funnels. Solar prominences may last for many hours and can extend millions of kilometers above the surface of the sun. 3. Solar flares- Violent eruptions that are suddenly released and are caused by magnetic energy stored in the corona. Ultraviolet light and X rays from solar flares cause disruption of radio signals, making communication by radio and telephone difficult. Magnetic storms occur on Earth when electrically charged particles from the corona and solar flares ae added to the solar wind produced by the corona. When this happens, Earth's atmosphere radites beautiful lights called aurora borealis or northern lights. This same light is called the aurora australis in the southern hemisphere.
What part of the sun is seen during a solar eclipse?
The corona.
How are prominences solar flares corona solar wind are related to the sun?
sun prominences are like loops that come out of the sun if you look it up you'll probly find pictures. solar flares are like prominences but they dont make a loop they just go straight out. the corona is the outer most layer of the sun.
Prominences may be seen in the suns?
Corona
Prominences may be seen in suns?
Solar prominence are seen in the photosphere of the sun that goes further in the corona. These prominences can reach out over thousands of kilometers.
What is the prominences of the sun?
Solar prominences are large looping structures of hot, glowing gas that extend from the Sun’s surface into the outer atmosphere, or corona. They can be seen during total solar eclipses or with special equipment that blocks out the brightness of the Sun. Prominences are caused by complex magnetic interactions within the Sun.
What two parts of the suns outer layer are only VISIBLEfrom earth during a solar eclipse?
The solar corona, and solar prominences.
Which features of the sun look like huge cloudlike arches?
Prominences

What is the name of the loops of gas found on the sun?
The loops of gas found on the sun are called solar prominences. They are large, bright features that extend out from the sun's surface into its outer atmosphere, known as the corona, and are typically associated with the sun's magnetic field.
How is the solar chromosphere and corona heated to their high temperatures A Prominences and flares erupt from the photosphere out to the chromosphere and corona?
Obviously not by heat transfer; heat, of course, will only flow from hotter objects to colder objects. There are different theories about how the corona heats up; currently, it isn't known for sure which of these theories is correct.
The layer of the sun's atmosphere that is responsible for flares spicules and prominences?
The layer of the sun's atmosphere responsible for flares, spicules, and prominences is the chromosphere. This layer lies above the photosphere and below the corona. It is where these solar phenomena occur due to the intense magnetic activity in the region.
