Solar Prominence:

Among the spectacular solar phenomenon are the Prominence. Although Prominences are very frequently on the sun, they are seen only during a total solar eclipse or with the use of special instruments. They appear as red flame-like filaments, rising from the edge of the Sun. These prominces may extend tens of thousands of km or even a million km above the Sun, and they gracefully fall back into the main Solar body. Smaller Prominences are called 'SPICULES' which are commonly observed near the Sun's polar regions.
The shapes and movemets of Prominences are dominated by the magnetic fields of Sun Spots.A solar Prominence is seen in ultraviolet light by instruments on board Skylab on 19 December 1973. The arc of ionized helium extends 588,000 km - 45 times the diameter of the Earth across the surface of the Sun.

The Solar Wind:

The solar wind distorts the magnetic field of the Sun and the Earth. Fluctuations in the wind - a stream of electrically charged particles from the Sun - make the Sun's field wave up and down, as revealed by the buckling of the central neutral sheet. The Solar Wind blows the Earth's magnetosphere into a long tail, and some of its particles are trapped in the Van Allen Belts. The influence of the Solar wind on the Earth shows up clearly in the colorful Aurora.

The Solar Flare:

Another sporadic solar atmospheric phemenon is the solar flare. Although solar flares are very short in duration, an enormous amount of energy is released, especially in the ultraviolet and x-ray regions. The solar flare is the brightest eruptive activity on the Sun. It is sudden short-lived and with a tremendous local increase in the light intensity in the chromosphere.Solar flares occur in the region where a sunspot is located.

Solar flares are very important events as far as the earth is concerned. They emit ultraviolet radiation as well as charged particles and cosmic rays. When the energetic radiation and the stream of charged particles reach the neighbourhood of the Earth, they cause magnetic storms and interfare with radio transmission on the Earth.
