Sunspots are strong magnetic regions that disrupt the outward flow of heat from the sun's interior.

Not exact matches

The spots are planet - sized regions in which strong magnetic fields become tangled.

During their travels, the sound waves speed up when they cross regions where the strong magnetic fields that accompany sunspots and other storm centers push down the solar surface.

Until now, they believed the ions came from Jupiter's magnetosphere, the region in which the planet's magnetic field is strong enough to deflect the «solar wind,» a stream of particles emitted by the sun.

The resulting interaction converted magnetic energy into kinetic energy and sent charged particles such as cosmic rays raining down on Earth's magnetosphere, the region around Earth where its own magnetic field is stronger than other magnetic fields in space.

If such a particle is placed in a magnetic field whose strength varies from region to region, it will move toward the weakest or strongest part of the field, depending on the particle's orientation [see illustration on next page].

Indeed, sometime after the tenuous gas of the Solar nebula began collapsing into the proto - Sun within its host molecular cloud, a strong magnetic field developed that was instrumental in transporting rotational energy away from its core region in bi-polar jets of gas so that centrifugal forces created by the nebula's collapse did not grow so much as to halt continuing gravitational contraction.

As a side - effect, less auroras form in the middle latitudes because a stronger magnetic field and a less ionized ionosphere mostly constrains the auroras in the polar region.
