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? Observation 1 represents a solar wind because the solar wind creates auroras in the sky near the poles. Observation 1 represents a CME because a CME is a cloud of plasma which bursts out of the sun's atmosphere. Observation 2 represents a solar wind because the solar wind travels at a very high speed in a specific direction. Observation 2 represents a CME because a CME is a magnetic storm on the sun which produces high energy particles.
