What is another word for solar facula?
Pronunciation: [sˈə͡ʊlə fˈakjʊlə] (IPA) 
A solar facula is a bright spot or patch on the surface of the sun that is often associated with magnetic activity and sunspot formation. While the term solar facula is commonly used in scientific literature, there are several synonyms that refer to the same phenomenon. These include solar plages, bright points, and sunspot umbrae. Solar plages are similar to faculae but are often larger and cooler. Bright points refer to small, bright areas on the solar surface that are often visible in ultraviolet light. Finally, sunspot umbrae are dark areas surrounded by faculae and are also indicative of magnetic activity on the sun's surface.
