solar flare
Eruptions that occur when loops in sunspot regions suddenly connect are known as solar flares. These explosive events release a significant amount of energy, emitting radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, including X-rays and ultraviolet light. Solar flares can impact space weather, potentially disrupting satellite operations and communication systems on Earth. They are often associated with coronal mass ejections, which can further influence the Earth's magnetosphere.
The layer of the Sun where eruptions occur due to the sudden connection of loops in sunspot regions is the corona. These eruptions, known as solar flares, are caused by the release of magnetic energy stored in the corona. The interactions and reconnections of magnetic field lines in this outer atmosphere can lead to significant bursts of energy and matter into space.
The center portion of a sunspot is called the umbra. It is the darkest part of the sunspot where the magnetic field is strongest and the temperature is cooler than the surrounding areas.
the sunspot
Solar flares. Don't get it mixed up with prominence, because prominence is a huge,arching column of gas. And you defined what a solar flare is above:)

They are called the prominence.
The explosions that occur when loops in sunspot regions suddenly connect are called solar flares. These flares are powerful bursts of energy and radiation that are released from the Sun's surface. Solar flares can have various effects on Earth, including disrupting communication systems and causing geomagnetic storms.
Prominence Sunspot in 1945
Sunspot maximum and sunspot minimum are the points in time (roughly 6 years apart) when the sun is producing the most, or the least sunspots. In the past this has been measured both by sunspot area and sunspot count and is directly tied to the solar magnetic cycle.
The sunspot cycle is about 11 years in length.
A Large Sunspot can be up to about 10,000 miles across.
The average sunspot cycle is approximately 11 years, with periods of high sunspot activity followed by lower activity levels. This cycle is known as the solar cycle or the sunspot cycle.
An area on the sun that is cooler is called a sunspot.
