Yes. Because when the sun gets hot and cold fast. So it makes the have sun spots.

No, sunspots are cooler than the photosphere.
Photosphere- outer (gaseous) layer or surface of sun that we see Faculae- bright areas Sunspots- dark areas
Scientists have discovered many features of the sunâ??s surface. Some of these features include a rigid iron surface, sunspots, prominences, and solar flares.
What is true about sunspots
A. Sunspots B. Solar Prominences C. Auroras D. Coronal holes
Sunspots are the temporary dark spots on the surface of the sun, specifically the photosphere. Sunspots can get as big as 50,000 km long. Sunspots can interrupt terrestrial magnetism.

The most discernable features on the Sun are sunspots; areas that are a little cooler, and therefore a little darker, than the rest of the Sun around them. We know that sunspots are formed by intense magnetic regions, and that large solar flares and prominences are associated with sunspots. There's a cycle of increasing and decreasing numbers of sunspots that runs about 11 years in length, although this can vary by a couple of years. Slower cycles seem to be correlated with fewer sunspots, and faster cycles with more sunspots, but scientists don't have a detailed explanation for why the cycle exists, or why it is 11 years (more or less) in length. We are currently (in 2014) at or near the maximum of the sunspot cycle. You can see the daily view of the Sun and yesterday's sunspot number at the SpaceWeather website, www.spaceweather.com.
