SOLAR PROMINENCE:
It's a arc of gas, that erupts from the Sun's surface; a prominence can be hundreds of thousands of miles high. Strong magnetic fields hold the prominences in their place for months.
CORONAL MASS EJECTION (CME):
It's a plasma burst that can release 100 billion kg of plasma disrupting Earth satellites.
SOLAR FLARE:
It's a magnetic storm on the Sun; flares release large amounts of high-energy particles ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the star with a temperature that can reach 24 million F.
SOLAR WIND:
It's a continuous stream of ions. It takes about 4.5 years for the solar wind to reach Earth. However, solar wind affects our entire Solar system. One of its beautiful effects visible on Earth is the aurora.
