It doesn't look like its made of gas, ionized or otherwise. The way solar flares burst out of the SURFACE and crash back into the SURFACE suggests to me that there's some sharp phase transition that delineates the surface material from what's immediately above it, that doesn't seem compatible with a gaseous phase.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GSLZnJJcY4
>>16812933Magnetic field of a convective cell being compressed as the cell collapses and gets squeezed together. Forces the magnetic lines out like that. Upon terminal collapse the field collapses too and the sun farts out matter in hopefully not our general direction.

If you model the solar spectrum you see that there are strong hydrogen absorption lines. These require high temperatures to excite the upper electron level needed to produce them. The required temperature is of 8000 Kelvin. You can also work out the densities from many lines, and see the photosphere is much less dense than air.> The way solar flares burst out of the SURFACE and crash back into the SURFACEThat is not a solar flare. A flare is an energy release in the corona, high above the surface. They shoot out of anything.Your picture is a coronal loop, matter suspended in the magnetic field. Those images you are looking at don't even show the surface, the layer they show is the chromosphere, which is above the surface. Clearly showing that is is not solid. The images select an emission line of ionised helium at 304 Angstroms wavelength. Ionised helium following the magnetic field. It's plasma.
