Flocculi, also known as floccules, are small, fluffy, and cloud-like features that can be seen on the surface of the sun. They are composed of hot plasma and are often found in regions of intense magnetic activity. Other synonyms for flocculi include faculae, which are bright spots on the sun's surface, granules, which are small, convection cells that appear on the surface of the sun, and prominences, which are large, glowing features that rise above the sun's surface. These different features can be observed using various instruments, including solar telescopes and other specialized equipment, and are important for understanding the complex dynamics of the sun's atmosphere.
