Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coronal heating occurs all of the time, even when the Sun is quiet. This is because there are constantly magnetic field lines interacting and releasing energy in the Sun's corona, leading to the heating of the plasma. While coronal mass ejections and sunspot cycles can contribute to fluctuations in the amount of heating, it is an ongoing process that occurs at all times.
