This is a stream of charged particles, which travels through the Solar System at approximately 450 km/second.

Dark spots that are visible on the surface of the sun that are caused by intense magnetic activity that disrupts convection forming areas of reduced surface temperatures.
A magnetic storm on the Sun which is a very hot, bright spot that usually occurs near sunspots; an explosion that releases huge amounts of high-energy particles and gases and are ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the sun
this is the lowest layer of the sun's atmosphere, and emits light we see.
These are visible effects of the Sun's activity on Earth's atmosphere. It results from the interaction of the solar wind, a continuous flow of electrically charged particles with gases in the upper atmosphere of the Earth at altitudes above 50 miles.

Here are the correct matches for each description:

  1. Solar Wind: This is a stream of charged particles, which travels through the Solar System at approximately 450 km/second.

  2. Sunspots: Dark spots that are visible on the surface of the sun that are caused by intense magnetic activity that disrupts convection forming areas of reduced surface temperatures.

  3. Solar Flare: A magnetic storm on the Sun which is a very hot, bright spot that usually occurs near sunspots; an explosion that releases huge amounts of high-energy particles and gases and are ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the sun.

  4. Photosphere: This is the lowest layer of the sun's atmosphere, and emits light we see.

  5. Aurorae: These are visible effects of the Sun's activity on Earth's atmosphere. It results from the interaction of the solar wind, a continuous flow of electrically charged particles with gases in the upper atmosphere of the Earth at altitudes above 50 miles.
