A solar plage is a bright region in the sun's atmosphere, primarily found in the chromosphere layer. These areas are characterized by elevated temperatures and densities compared to their surroundings and are often associated with sunspots and active regions. Solar plages appear as bright patches in images taken in certain wavelengths, particularly in the hydrogen-alpha (Hα) line, which is commonly used in solar observations.
