It looks like you need to match the scientific terms related to solar phenomena with their appropriate definitions. Here’s how to do that:

  1. Solar flare: This is a sudden flash of increased brightness on the sun, often associated with the release of energy and radiation.

  2. Coronal mass ejection: This refers to a large bubble of plasma from the rapid release of magnetic energy, which can result in significant interactions with the Earth’s magnetosphere.

  3. Sunspot: These are temporary phenomena on the sun’s photosphere that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas because they are cooler.

Based on this:

  • large bubble of plasma from the rapid release of magnetic energycoronal mass ejection
  • sudden flash of increased brightness on the sunsolar flare
  • temporary darker spots on the sun's surfacesunspot

Make sure to drag each term into the correct definition area accordingly!
