The Scientists have unraveled the science behind the jets of plasma.
Plasma is the fourth state of matter consisting of electrically charged particles that occur just about everywhere in the sun’s chromosphere.
The jets, or spicules, appear as thin grass-like plasma structures that constantly shoot up from the surface and are then brought down by gravity.
The amount of energy and momentum that these spicules can carry is of fundamental interest in solar and plasma astrophysics.
The scientists recently elaborated that the plasma right below the visible solar surface (photosphere) is perpetually in a state of convection, much like boiling water in a vessel heated at the bottom.
