Coronal Mass Ejections

Because of the high reactivity of the suns surface

Plasma is ejected in a violent reaction

This causes solar winds outward from the sun

Which can also effect the weather on earth

…. And can cause all kinds of space weather

Animated reaction of a C.M.E.

C.M.E.’s cause a sun spot after ejection

Which is an area of high magnetic reactivity
