sunspot -- magnetic field of the sun emerges as a loop
coronal mass ejection -- relatively cool spot on surface of the sun
coronal mass ejection -- relatively cool spot on surface of the sun
sun's magnetic field -- uneven churning of the sun's gravitational field
Responses
solar activity -- sudden eruptions of large bubbles of plasma and magnetic energy
solar activity -- sudden eruptions of large bubbles of plasma and magnetic energy
solar flare -- sudden release of magnetic energy
solar flare -- sudden release of magnetic energy

The two accurate statements about the different types of radiation that are measured in the Total Solar Irradiance are:
- Radiation in the visible light wavelengths is emitted steadily and constantly from the sun.
- Radiation in the short extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range is most likely to have the widest variation.
These statements correctly describe the behavior of radiation emissions from the Sun.
