Definition
彩球 most commonly refers to a decorative colorful ball, often made of silk or paper and used in celebrations, parades, or traditional performances (e.g., lion dance). The astronomy sense 'corona' (日冕) is rare and may be a dictionary misattribution — you will almost never encounter it in everyday Chinese.
