Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the surface of the Sun. The number vary over time, but there is a "trend" towards a greater number appearing every eleven years. However, this "trend" seems to be "disturbed" as the "11 year" cycle is very late.

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.
Sunspots are dark, cooler spots on the sun caused by the sun's magnetic field. I believe the cycle between highs and lows of sunspot numbers is 11 years.
What is true about sunspots
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 observable phenomena in the solar cycle is the variation in the number of sunspots. Sunspots are dark areas on the Sun's surface that represent intense magnetic activity and are closely related to the overall activity level of the Sun. The number of sunspots follows an 11-year cycle, where the Sun goes from a solar minimum with fewer sunspots to a solar maximum with increased sunspot activity and then back to a minimum.
yes
in the sun
Sunspots are actually cooler regions on the sun's surface compared to their surroundings. They appear darker because they are areas of intense magnetic activity that disrupts the normal flow of heat to the surface.
Sunspots look darker because they are cooler than the rest of the sun.
We call them sunspots, but dark and cool are relative terms. A sunspot is dark only relative to the surrounding solar surface, but still intensely bright compared to your common household light bulb. It's cooler than the surrounding solar material, but still hot enough to vaporize a spaceship and anyone inside it in a fraction of a second.
No objects on the sun. but there are sunspots and flares.
