The Sun's outer atmosphere and phenomena are referred to as prominences, solar flares, corona, solar wind, and chromospheres. Prominences are large, bright, gaseous features that extend outward from the Sun's surface and are frequently associated with magnetic activity. Solar flares are abrupt, intense bursts of radiation from the Sun's surface, sometimes accompanied by the release of magnetic energy. The corona is the Sun's outer atmosphere, and it is visible as a halo of plasma during a solar eclipse. The solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particles that the Sun's corona emits. Chromospheres are layers of the Sun's atmosphere above the photosphere, where temperatures rise sharply.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
