Prominences are huge loops or sheets of gas erupting from active regions around sunspots. They arch into the Sun's atmosphere and connect pairs of sunspots.

This is a fitting name for them because something that is prominent is something that sticks out as being obvious. A prominent feature of Pinocchio's is that his nose elongates when he lies.
