Massapurkaus, often translated as mass ejection or mass discharge, refers to the expulsion of a significant amount of matter from a celestial body. In astrophysics, the term is commonly used to describe phenomena occurring on stars, particularly our Sun. Solar mass ejections are a type of solar activity that can involve the expulsion of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun's corona. These events can take various forms, including coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares.
CMEs are vast clouds of solar wind and magnetic fields released into space. They can travel at
The study of mass ejections is crucial for understanding solar physics and space weather. Scientists monitor
