Question

question 3 1 pts what is a coronal mass ejection? an event in which billions of tons of gas from the sun is suddenly blasted into space at high speeds. the distortion of an image formed by a telescope due to differing focal lengths of the optical system. light radiated by atoms and ions in the earths upper atmosphere, mostly in the polar regions. a process in which a high - energy ultraviolet photons are absorbed and the absorbed energy is radiated as lower - energy photons of visible light. flamelike protrusions seen near the limb of the sun and extending into the solar corona.

Explanation:

A coronal mass ejection (CME) is a significant solar phenomenon. It involves the sudden release of a large amount of plasma (gas) from the Sun. This plasma is blasted into space at high speeds. The first option accurately describes this event. The second option refers to chromatic aberration in telescopes. The third option describes the aurora (northern/southern lights). The fourth option is related to fluorescence. The fifth option describes a solar prominence.

Answer:

an event in which billions of tons of gas from the Sun is suddenly blasted into space at high speeds.
