Coronal rain refers to a phenomenon observed in the solar corona, which is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere. It occurs when plasma, typically in the form of cool, dense strands of solar material, falls back to the Sun after being ejected into the corona. This material often originates from solar prominences or flares, where magnetic field lines in the Sun's atmosphere channel the cooler, denser plasma into loops.
