Cloud-like structures in the background above the Sun churn from the passage of magnetic ripples called Alfvén waves, which may be responsible for the extreme heat of the Sun's corona. Vertical jets called spicules dance closer to the Sun's surface.

    You're not very bright, are you Josh? Seems like you're the only one here who didn't get the joke.

    Thanks, though, because your angry, clueless response was even better then the actual joke.

    We're not laughing with you, we're laughing AT you. I imagine you get a lot of that.

    Okay, so I mis-spelled "relatively."

    This is YouTube, after all.

    @ericr64

    I thought it was funny. I mean, if we can't have some fun regarding something of which we are all relaively ignorant, then that is a sad state of affairs. Right, Jim?

    :-P (lol)

    I would have expected more from this crowd, honestly.

    It's kind of hard to blame him, I mean, what your saying is absolutely ridiculous. If you had even the slightest education in hell... even general science... then you would realize that. It's kind of funny, really.

    Also, you have no room to judge, lol.

    the sun is a gas ball, it is not composed of fire, it is energy, plasma and radiation, your a dumbass because when the sun "cools off" It expands into a red giant, then a white dwarf, so your fucking retarded
