Saki went on vacation and was fortunate enough to get to see the aurora australis. What solar activity did she observe?

Answer
A
solar flares
B
sunspots
C
prominences
D
solar winds

The aurora australis forms when charged particles carried from the Sun by the solar wind interact with gases in Earth’s atmosphere near the poles. So Saki observed the effects of solar winds, not solar flares, sunspots, or prominences.
