Tornadoes on the Sun

Giant spinning clouds of gas, similar to Earth's tornadoes, have been found on the Sun. Solar tornadoes, however, can be larger than the entire Earth, and sustain wind gusts over 1,000 times stronger than their Earth counterparts. The SOHO spacecraft found that solar tornadoes start low in the Sun's atmosphere and spiral outwards, gathering speed as they enter the Solar System.
