Sunspots are regions of cooler gas; however, they are still extremely hot.
Prominerces
Sunspots appear darker because they are "cooler" than the surrounding area.
Sunspots are parts of the Sun that are about 1200 degrees centigrade cooler than the surroundings.
Sunspots do not explode, sunspots are cooler regions of the Sun's surface caused by what are basically magnetic field "tangles" stopping the convection that brings heat to the solar surface. When the "tangle" untangles or snaps back the Sunspot fades away as that bit of the surface heats back up. For explosions on the surface of the Sun, try looking up solar flares or corona.

No, sunspots are cooler than the photosphere.
Sunspots are areas of gas on the sun that are cooler than the gases around them.

Sunspots are cooler regions on the surface of the sun. Visually, they look like dark circles sporadically dotting the sun, and their numbers change from day to day.
As strange as it is to think of a body as hot as the sun having such a thing as a "cool" spot, it actually does! These areas are known as sunspots. Their number changes from year to year and they appear darker in color when studied by astronomers.

The cooler dark spots on the sun are called sunspots.
