a) Solar flares
b) Solar wind
c) Solar eclipses
d) Solar rotation

Answer 1

Solar flares, solar wind, and solar rotation can be explained by the interaction of gas and the Sun's magnetic field.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solar features that can be explained by the interaction of gas and the Sun's magnetic field are:

1. Solar flares: Flares are intense bursts of energy on the Sun's surface that occur when magnetic fields in the Sun's atmosphere become twisted and release a tremendous amount of electromagnetic radiation.
2. Solar wind: The flow of hot, charged particles leaving the Sun is driven by the Sun's magnetic field.
3. Solar rotation: By observing sunspots move across the disk of the Sun, we can show that the Sun rotates on its axis.
