    What is a solar granule?

    A solar granule is a small-scale convective cell on the Sun’s surface. It appears as a bright, grainy pattern and is caused by the rising of hot plasma from the Sun’s interior. Solar granules are approximately 1,000 kilometers in size and are constantly changing and evolving.
