Direction: Read this passage based on the text and answer the questions that follow.
Surface Features of the Sun
The sun has many incredible surface features such as sunspots. Sunspots are relatively
cool, dark areas on the sun’s surface. Sunspots occur in an 11-year cycle. The number of
sunspots begins at a minimum, gradually increases to a maximum, and then returns to a
minimum again. Sunspots form because loops of the sun’s magnetic field break through the
surface. Sunspots usually occur in pairs. The loop breaks through the surface where it comes
out of the sun. It breaks through again where it goes back into the sun. Sunspots disrupt the
transfer of heat from the sun's lower layers.
Sometimes there is a break in a loop of the sun’s magnetic field. This creates a solar
flare. Solar flares are violent explosions that release huge amounts of energy. They emit
streams of high-energy particles. The streams of particles are called solar wind. Solar wind is
dangerous to spacecraft and astronauts. Solar flares can cause damage on Earth. They can
knock out entire power grids. They can also disturb radio, satellite, and cell phone
communications.
Another amazing feature of the Sun is a solar prominence. This is a glowing arch of
plasma that flows along the loop between sunspots. Solar prominences can reach
thousands of kilometers into the sun’s atmosphere. They can last from a day to several
months.

Questions
1. What are sunspots? When and why do they occur?
2. Define solar flare and solar wind.
3. What creates a solar flare? How can a solar flare affect Earth?
4. Describe solar prominences.
