Close up of the sun's

Compared to the showers of the sun, destructive storms on Earth become too "gentle". The reason for this is that every drop of rain in the sun is about the same size as Ireland and falls at speeds of up to 200,000 km / h.

Similar to what happens on Earth, the Sun must also go through periods of bad weather, with strong winds and intense showers.

However, unlike all frequent storms on our planet, the Sun's rain is made up of charged gas (plasma ) and poured down to this star's surface from the Sun's outer atmosphere. (halo halo). In particular, each drop of thousands of droplets constitutes a halo of halo of "big" size, equivalent to Ireland.

Halo halo was first discovered nearly 40 years ago, with the image as a "waterfall" in the atmosphere of the Sun. Physicists are now able to study halo halo in detail thanks to advanced satellites such as the SDO solar probe of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) or underground observatories. like the Swedish 1-m Sun telescope (SST).

Scientists observed frequent and large-scale changes in the Sun's climate, but it took decades of research to understand the physical characteristics of halo halo. It turns out, the process of creating rain in the Sun is similar to the way rain appears on Earth.

In the right conditions of the Sun atmosphere, hot, dense plasma clouds can cool off naturally, condensed and eventually fall back to the Sun's surface in the form of raindrops.

Just like on Earth, the materials that make up hot rain clouds approach the halo through rapid evaporation. However, the difference is that the evaporation here is caused by the most powerful rage or explosion , which is supposed to help heat the Sun's outer atmosphere.

The origin of the halo heating process has been one of the oldest conundrums in astrophysics. A group of scientists led by Dr. Eamon Scullion of Trinity College Dublin teamed up to find an explanation for this curious phenomenon.

They discovered that torrential storms originating in the Sun's bursts could play a key role in controlling the atmosphere's rotation and acting as thermostats, regulators. coordinating temperature movements in the sun's halo.

Dr. Scullion and colleagues also introduced a "catastrophic" model , in which an unusually rapid drop in temperature causes the matter to shift from the gas to dilute the corona into plasma raindrops.
