Solar Supergranulation

Solar Supergranulation is a large-scale convective flow pattern in the solar photosphere characterized by horizontal plasma motions organized into cellular structures approximately 30,000 kilometers in diameter, distinguishing it from smaller-scale granulation and mesogranulation features through its size, lifetime, and role in advecting magnetic fields across the Sun’s surface.
