Abstract: Solar transients such as flares, filament eruptions, surges, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are among the most energetic manifestations of solar activity, with direct implications for space weather and the near-Earth environment. These events are rooted in the complex coupling between the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona, where magnetic fields and plasma processes interact in highly dynamic ways. Understanding their onset and evolution requires simultaneous, high-resolution observations across multiple layers of the solar atmosphere. The Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT), recently launched aboard Aditya-L1, represents a major advance in this direction. SUIT is the first space-based instrument to provide continuous, full-disk imaging of the Sun in multiple near-ultraviolet spectral bands (200–400 nm), capturing radiation from the upper photosphere, chromosphere, and lower transition region. Its unique wavelength coverage, combined with high spatial and temporal resolution, enables SUIT to probe the earliest signatures of solar transients with unprecedented detail. In this talk, we will present an overview of SUIT’s contributions to the study of solar transients, emphasizing its potential to bridge the observational gap between the photosphere and corona. We will also briefly outline other significant science goals that SUIT observations are expected to address.
