No. Some sunspots are fairly small, compared to the size of the Sun, while some can get pretty big. Sunspots grow, and merge, and a "medium" sized sunspot covers an area larger than the Earth.

You can see the daily sunspot number on the web at www.spaceweather.com.

What can you conclude from your observations of sunspots?

Sunspots are temporary dark spots on the sun's surface caused by magnetic activity. Observations of sunspots help track the sun's 11-year solar cycle and provide insight into the sun's magnetic field and its effects on space weather. Changes in the number and size of sunspots can also affect Earth's climate and communication systems.


Why do sunspots look small but are big?

Sunspots only look small in relationship to the size of the Sun itself. Even a "small" sunspot, hardly visible, is as big around as the Earth is.


Sunspots sit on the suns what?

Sunspots sit on the sun's photosphere. The photosphere is the surface of the sun, and sunspots are dark regions on it that are visible. The photosphere's average temperature is about 5800 degrees Kelvin.


Where do the sunspot appear?

Sunspots appear on the surface of the Sun, specifically in the photosphere. These darker, cooler areas are caused by magnetic activity on the Sun's surface. Sunspots can vary in size and shape and are often seen in groups.


How big is a sunspot?

Sunspots expand and contract as they move across the surface of the Sun and can be as large as 80,000 kilometers (50,000 mile) in diameter, making the larger ones visible from Earth without the aid of a telescope


What are the cool areas on the sun called?

These are called sunspots. These are the cooler darker areas on the sun.They range in size from 800 to 80000 km in diameter. They have very strong magnetic fields that can affect radio communications on earth. They follow an eleven year cycle called the sunspot cycle.


How will sun spots effect the earths weather?

Sunspots: One interesting aspect of the Sun is its sunspots. Sunspots are areas where the magnetic field is about 2,500 times stronger than Earth's, much higher than anywhere else on the Sun. Because of the strong magnetic field, the magnetic pressure increases while the surrounding atmospheric pressure decreases. This in turn lowers the temperature relative to its surroundings because the concentrated magnetic field inhibits the flow of hot, new gas from the Sun's interior to the surface. Sunspots tend to occur in pairs that have magnetic fields pointing in opposite directions. A typical spot consists of a dark region called the umbra, surrounded by a lighter region known as the penumbra. The sunspots appear relatively dark because the surrounding surface of the Sun (the photosphere) is about 10,000 degrees F., while the umbra is about 6,300 degrees F. Sunspots are quite large as an average size is about the same size as the Eart


Blemish on the surface of the sun?

Sunspots are cooler areas on the sun's surface that appear darker due to intense magnetic activity. These sunspots can vary in size and can last from a few days to a few weeks before disappearing. Sunspots are typically associated with increased solar activity and can impact space weather on Earth.


Do sunspots occur on the surface of the sun?

What is true about sunspots


How are sunspots different from other areas of the photosphere?

Sunspots are cooler, darker areas on the Sun's photosphere that are caused by magnetic activity inhibiting convection. They appear darker because they are about 1500 degrees Celsius cooler than the surrounding photosphere. Other areas of the photosphere do not have the same magnetic influence that creates sunspots.


How long do sunspots last for?

Sunspots are as long as your dick or vag


What Sunspots affect?

Sunspots affect radio compunication and the weather.
