magnetic Sun

 

What is the magnetic Sun? The Sun is like a huge magnet, but what a magnet! It's a magnet that is constantly changing and occasionally has temper tantrums when it explodes violently.

 

You can find out more about the magnetic Sun in this section.

 

See how the streams of hot plasma trace out the Sun's magnetic field in loops - the tangled Sun. Follow the small explosions that are caused by the magnetic Sun, in the solar fireflies and the massive solar explosions called flares which can cause chaos here on Earth!
