1. nuclear fusion
2. solar flares
3. orbit
4. corona
5. prominences
6. auroras
7. convection currents
8. sunspots
9. solar winds
10. gravity

column b
a. the invisible force that pulls things toward each other - it keeps us on the ground and keeps
b. when hot gas rises and cool gas sinks, moving in loops - this happens on the suns surface and inside earth.
c. powerful bursts of energy and light that shoot out from the suns surface.
d. big, bright loops of gas that stick out from the suns surface.
e. the path something takes when it goes around another object, like earth going around the sun.
f. the outer layer of the suns atmosphere that looks like a glowing halo during a solar eclipse.
g. beautiful lights in earths sky caused by solar winds hitting earths atmosphere. they are often green, purple, or red.
h. streams of charged gas that flow out from the sun into space.
i. dark spots on the suns surface that are cooler than the rest of the sun.
j. a process where hydrogen atoms smash together to make helium, giving off lots of light and heat.

Explanation:

• Nuclear Fusion: It is the process where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing light and heat, which matches option j.
• Solar Flares: These are powerful bursts of energy and light from the Sun's surface, corresponding to option c.
• Orbit: The path an object takes around another, like Earth around the Sun, so option e.
• Corona: The outer layer of the Sun's atmosphere looking like a glowing halo during a solar eclipse, option f.
• Prominences: Big, bright gas loops sticking out from the Sun's surface, option d.
• Auroras: Beautiful lights in Earth's sky due to solar winds hitting the atmosphere, option g.
• Convection Currents: Hot gas rising and cool gas sinking in loops (happens on Sun's surface and inside Earth), option b.
• Sunspots: Dark, cooler spots on the Sun's surface, option i.
• Solar Winds: Streams of charged gas flowing from the Sun into space, option h.
• Gravity: The invisible force pulling things together (keeps us on ground), option a.
