The Corona

Active Region
Caused by strong magnetic fields that may span up to 500 000 square kilometers

Arcade of loops
An arcade is a system of magnetic loops organized into an elongated cylindrical formation Often such an arcade will result from a slowly developing solar flare or a coronal mass ejection or both The bright arcade may persist for days or longer

X Ray Bright Points
These occur anywhere on the Sun at opposition of the active regions Caused by magnetic fields that are sucked down into the photosphere

Corona Hole
unipolar magnetic fields high speed solar wind streams originate in coronal holes

Interconnecting loops
large scale magnetic loops connect two active regions emerging flux magnetic loops push their way through the photosphere and appear in the corona

Streamer
The result of two opposed arcades resulting in explosions of x rays from the sun
