Scientists have unravelled the science behind the jets of plasma – the fourth state of matter consisting of electrically charged particles that occur just about everywhere in the sun’s chromosphere, which is the atmospheric layer just above the Sun’s visible surface.
What are the jets of plasma?
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.
How they are formed? What are the recent findings?
Astronomers at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics conducted an experiment to understand the science behind this.
The researchers realized that the physics underlying these paint jets must be analogous to the solar plasma jets.
The scientists 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.
