nounPlural faculae ˈfakjʊləˈfækjələ

1A bright region on the surface of the sun, linked to the subsequent appearance of sunspots in the same area.

- If the faculae loom above the surface, they could radiate light efficiently, thereby boosting the sun's overall brightness, especially during the solar maximum.
1. 1.1 A bright spot on the surface of a planet.

Derivatives

facular

adjective
