Are there any storms on the sun?

Sun Storms?

The sun is nothing but one big Storm of Nuclear Fusion! This Nuclear Conflagration roils and boils the atoms in the sun with such intensity that it's surface temperature is ~ 11,000°F (6,100°C). Hot as the solar surface is, deep inside the sun’s core, the high rate of energy generation and the intense pressure — some 5 million pounds per squate inch — heats the gas to 27 million°F (15 million°C). The process that fuels the sun is the ceaseless fusion of hydrogen into helium. This in turn releases energy in the form of gamma rays that bounce from one atom to another until, after a million years or so, the energy finally reaches the sun’s surface in the form of visible light and heat. Every second, the sun releases as much energy as 90 billion 1-megaton hydrogen bombs.

All this tremendous unimaginable action causes absolutely massive Magnetic Fields to be generated that cause "Solar Flares" that expell enormous amounts of highly energetic gas. When these magnetic fields collapes radiation is emitted across virtually the entire electromagnetic spectrum.

Our average star is about 40 percent along in its expected 12 billion-year lifespan. About six billion years from now, it will have used up its hydrogen fuel and begin fusing its helium nuclei. The sun will swell into a red giant, so huge that it may encompass the Earth’s orbit. After another billion years the red giant will eject its outer layers, leaving only a small white dwarf star that will cool and fade away.
