Indian scientists using data from the Aditya-L1 mission have made significant progress in understanding why the Sun's corona remains extremely hot despite continuous energy loss from solar eruptions like coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Their research shows that while surface wave-generated energy accounts for only a small portion of the heat, the primary source is the reconfiguration and reconnection of tangled magnetic field lines in the corona. This mechanism allows the Sun to replenish most of the lost energy, maintaining the corona's high temperatures.
