1) what describes the unusually large release of plasma from the sun's corona? auroras cme solar wind solar flare 2) the table below compares the distances between two bodies. comparison of distance bodies distance x and y 30.2 au y and z 7.2 light years based on the table, which of the following statements could be true? x and y are both within the solar system. y and z are both within the solar system. x and y are farther apart than y and z. y and z are both present on earth.

1) The correct answer is CME:
In fact, CME stands for "Coronal Mass Ejection", and they are huge release of plasma and magnetic field from the corona of the Sun.

2) The only statement that could be true is "X and Y are both within the solar system."
In fact, the distance between X and Y is 30.2 AU (1 AU is the distance between Earth and Sun). Pluto, the farthest planet from the Sun, is located at approximately 40 AU from the Sun:  the distance between X and Y is smaller than this value, so they could be both in the solar system.
