Shining Bright: Exploring the Mysteries of Sun Rings for Teens
Sun rings, also known as coronal loops or solar prominences, are giant arcs of gas that extend out from the Sun's surface. These majestic formations appear like glowing ribbons in various colors such as red and blue because they emit light at different wavelengths. Scientists believe that these sunrings are caused by intense magnetic fields snaking through the charged plasma on the Sun's surface- a process called Magnetic Reconnection. While it is not safe to observe directly with naked eyes, there exist plenty of photographs taken by NASA satellites for teenagers who want to study them closely
