The most appropriate way to represent a prominence in a model of the sun would be a loop of wire extending from the sun’s surface.

Prominences are large, bright features that extend outward from the sun's surface and are often shaped like loops or arches. Therefore, the loop of wire best represents the structure and appearance of a solar prominence.
