Sunspots, Prominences, Flames And Coronal Mass Ejections

Abstract

A diversity of eruptions of energy and mass emerging from solar surfaces produced what we know as Solar Flames. The common indications of solar activity are sunspots, prominences, flames and coronal mass ejections which also includes plages and other linked phenomena seen at different wavelengths. All these engage in the sudden discharging of stored magnetic energy, which in turn accelerates the hot gases in the corona or near the surface of the sun. In some occasions, these particles reach all the ways towards earth and even beyond it by flowing alongside with the Sun’s magnetic field. These charged particles can form their own magnetic field and affect compass readings, induce electricity in long pipelines, and produce electrical

So it’s typical to conclude that there’s a correlation between the frequency of flares and the amount of sunspots. Such situations usually occur during periods of active sun and brought by the blended movement of solar material near the surface of the sun. Coronal Mass Ejections

Coronal Mass Ejection or CME is a huge eruption of magnetized plasma from the Sun’s corona or outer atmosphere that is released outwards towards space. It is known that CME is formed by explosive reconfigurations of solar magnetic fields through the process of magnetic reconnection, but its exact creation methods is yet to be understood (4).

We have fast CME’s drive that causes shocks in the solar wind and causes the most intense geomagnetic storm on earth. The main driver causes the geomagnetic storm to cause disturbances in the earth’s atmosphere that have important impact on both the surface and the atmosphere based technologies.

CME travels through space along with the sun’s solar flare causing, as said before, great impact on our earth’s space
