This was something I wrote for my blog and I want to be proved wrong because 
the answer seems logical, but I know that im not logical. And more over most 
of the time I have no idea what im talking about :). But this allows me to 
gain more knowlegde from my mistakes. Please give me some insight.

I feel like there is something people are forgetting. Stars at times give 
birth to black holes. They are very similar in what they do. When black holes 
interact with the environment around them, for example by drawing gas from an 
orbiting star the gas heats up to intese tempuratures. This is (if im not 
mistaken)caused by the radiation produced from the particles moving at such a 
fast speed. A black hole's gravity is so great that it creates an amazing 
curvature which traps even light. Now the question I ask is can the curvature 
of the sun be held accountable for the corona’s tempurature? 

We all know that we orbit around the Sun. We know it and most of us love it. 
Most of us know that is because of the gravitational pull of the sun. Some of 
us know that high gravity can effect space curvature. So can the gravitional 
curvature be held responsible for the plasma that is the corona?

Slowly Rotation black holes have something called a photon sphere.This photon 
sphere is similar to a corona.In the sense that both are very hot, and both 
are trapped because of gravity created by a massive object.

Now if that is not enough to answer the question I have additional input. If 
the temperature doesnt fit a mathmatical proof I cant write, could the 
inclusion of friction close the gap? And if not that,then could the strange 
magnetic field finish it?
