Abstract
Astronomers have long recognized that many of the structural features of the Sun’s atmosphere are related to and associated with the dynamic properties of the atmosphere. Thus, granules, and spicules have long been associated, respectively, with convection in the photosphere and jets of matter ejected from the upper chromosphere. More recently, it has been recognized that the network is related to the flow in supergranules and that matter flows along the fibrils as if channelled by their structure. These and other clear associations between organized motion and structural features point to a close association, and very likely a one-to-one association, in which each class of structural features represents a distinct class of flow phenomena.
