Question

Patrick used the model of an aerial firecracker to demonstrate two different types of eruptions on the sun. He wrote the following observations when a firecracker was lit. The firecracker shot up. An explosion was seen when the firecracker reached a certain height. Which statement is correct about the eruptions on the sun represented by Patrick's observations?

Answer 1

Observation 1 represents a CME because a CME is a cloud of plasma which bursts out of the sun's atmosphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is correct about the eruptions on the Sun represented by Patrick's observations would be "Observation 1 represents a CME because a CME is a cloud of plasma which bursts out of the sun's atmosphere." A CME, or a coronal mass ejection, is a huge cloud of plasma that bursts out of the sun's atmosphere and is held together with magnetic fields. Considering that in this question, Patrick's firecracker shot up and exploded as a CME similarly would, we can conclude that Observation 1 represents a CME.

Hope this helps y'all :)
