Distinguishing between Sunspots, Solar Flares, and Prominences: Drag the descriptions to the correct category.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to classify descriptions about sunspots, solar flares, and prominences into the correct categories. This involves understanding the characteristics of each solar phenomenon to properly categorize them.
Answer
Sunspot: Appears in groups, Dark area on Sun. Solar Flare: Occurs near sunspots. Prominence: Appears as a loop, Cool, dense gas, Extends into corona.
Descriptions for each category:
- Sunspot: 'Appears in groups', 'Dark area on Sun'
- Solar Flare: 'Occurs near sunspots'
- Prominence: 'Appears as a loop', 'Cool, dense gas', 'Extends into corona'

More Information
Sunspots are dark areas on the Sun's surface. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Prominences are large, bright features extending outward from the Sun's surface.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing solar flares with prominences due to their proximity to sunspots. Remember, flares are intense energy bursts while prominences are cooler gas loops.
