Question

1. which term describes the storm of gas that forms columns that shoot into space and return to the suns surface?

solar prominence
nuclear fusion
sun spot
solar flare

Explanation:

Solar prominences are large, bright columns of gas extending from the Sun's surface into space, often following magnetic field lines and eventually returning to the surface. Nuclear fusion is the energy-producing process in the Sun's core, sun spots are cooler, darker areas on the Sun's surface, and solar flares are sudden, intense bursts of radiation—none of these match the described columnar gas storm that returns to the surface.

Answer:

solar prominence
