Short-wavelength IUE spectra of nearby solar-type stars are compared with high-resolution spatially resolved ultraviolet spectra of individual solar features (quiet region, plage, flare) obtained with the slit spectrograph on board Skylab. Comparison reveals remarkable similarity between the range of emission fluxes observed in stars of various activity levels and the range of fluxes emitted by individual solar regions. Since the solar features considered differ mainly in the level of magnetic activity, it is likely that the same occurs for stars. The strong similarities between spectra of active stars and spectra of solar plages suggest that active regions cover a much larger fraction of the stellar surface in young rapidly rotating stars.
