The document summarizes different types of storms that occur on the sun's atmosphere: Prominences appear as bright arches that can extend up to one megakilometer from the sun's surface. Solar flares are bright bursts of light that release huge amounts of energy and heat the sun's surface to twice its normal temperature. Solar wind is a continuous stream of high-energy particles emitted from the sun's corona that can interfere with radio signals. Sunspots are dark, relatively cool areas on the sun's surface that vary in number every 10-11 years and indicate that the sun rotates on its axis faster at the equator than at the poles.

Although the Sun is a calm star than other stars in the universe, it still has several forms of
violent storms that occur often in sun's atmosphere. These include prominences, solar flares,
solar wind, and sunspots.
Prominences: These storms are clearly seen from Earth. It looks like bright arches or loops of
gas. They originate in cromosphere and sometimes bend backwards and shower gasses back
to Sun. Some prominences ignite to heights of up to one megkilometers and distance former
the sun's layer.
Solar flares are observed as bright bursts of light on the Sun’s surface. These storms usually
last less than an hour and can reach temperatures that are two times the rest of the Sun’s
surface. Huge amounts of energy are released during a solar flare that sometimes interferes
with telecommunications on the side of the Earth facing the Sun. These storms are sometimes
accompanied by the Northern and Southern Lights.
Solar wind is a continuous stream of high-energy particles that is bursted into space in all
directions from the Sun’s corona. The wind may be increased in speed by solar flares. Solar
wind will cause interference with radio signals and telephone networks on Earth. It also
affects the way the end of a comet is nibbed, which is ever gone from the Sun.
Sunspots are observed as dark areas on the Sun’s surface and also they are relatively colder
than other areas of the Sun. They are observed in the photosphere and range from sixteen to
160,000 km in diameter. The number of sunspots is always keeps on changing, but it is
observed that there is huge change in their number every ten to eleven years. Because
sunspots are shown to move on the Sun’s surface, it was inferred that the Sun is rotating on
an axis. Since it is filled up with gas, the sun rotates faster at the equator at around 26.8 days
per rotation, than it does at the poles, which lasts for about 35 days.
