A transequatorial loop refers to a specific type of coronal loop observed in solar physics, particularly in the context of the sun's magnetic field and solar atmosphere. These loops are essentially massive structures of plasma that extend from one hemisphere of the sun to another, crossing the equatorial plane. They are associated with the sun's magnetic field and are generally formed during periods of solar activity, such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections.
