What is the sun made of? (draw)
What are sunspots? Dark area of the photosphere that is cooler than its surroundings and has a strong magnetic field.
How are solar flares formed? The same magnetic fields that cause sunspots can cause giant eruptions from the sun’s surface. These can interrupt radio communication on earth because of the electrically charged particles they release.
