Summary
Source: https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/solar-eruption/
A solar eruption gracefully rose up from the sun on Dec. 31, 2012, twisting and turning. Magnetic forces drove the flow of plasma, but without sufficient force to overcome the sun’s gravity much of the plasma fell back into the sun. The length of the eruption extends about 160,000 miles out from the sun. With Earth about 7,900 miles in diameter, this relatively minor eruption is about 20 times the diameter of our planet.› See video and relative size of Earth to eruption on ‘Solar Ballet on the Sun’ feature.Image Credit: NASA/SDO
