Prominence eruption is one of the most important solar phenomenon because of the possibility of using it as proxy of geoeffective solar disturbances. In a series of investigations using Nobeyama radio observations in conjunction with Yohkoh data we have found that there is more to a prominence eruption than the simple picture portrayed by Hα observations. The extent of coronal volume associated with the eruption is much larger than the prominence. We illustrate this with several examples and discuss the implication of the results for understanding the interplanetary manifestation of coronal mass ejections.
