Solar flare: a brief eruption of intense high-energy radiation from the sun's surface, associated with sunspots and causing electromagnetic disturbances on the earth, as with radio frequency communications and power line transmissions.

Sunspot Prominence: It is a large, bright, gaseous feature extending outward from the Sun's surface, often in a loop shape. It is similar to a Solar Flare
