Yes. There is a cycle about 11 years long from the "Solar Minimum" to the "Solar Maximum" to the "Solar Minimum" again. During the minimums, there are few sunspots and not many big flares and eruptions. In 2008, for example, there were 300 days with ZERO sunspots. Today (January 28, 2009) the sunspot number is 11, but for the last week it has been 0.
In 5 years or so, we expect the Sun to be very speckled, with sunspot numbers of 300 or more.
What else can I help you with?
What solar events occur during volcanic eruptions?
There are no Solar events that are connected to volcanic eruptions.
What is a other name for solar flares?
Solar flares are also known as solar storms or solar eruptions.
What are archlike eruptions called from sunspots?
Archlike eruptions from sunspots are called solar prominences. These are large loops of plasma that extend from the Sun's surface into its outer atmosphere, and can be seen during solar eclipses or with specialized solar telescopes.
What are large eruptions of gas from the sun out into space?
solar prominences
What large eruptions of gas from the sun out into space?
solar prominences
Which events are NOT given by solar energy?
Events that are not directly given by solar energy include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and thunderstorms, as they are driven by other geological or atmospheric processes.
What are the Large eruptions in the suns atmosphere?
Those are called solar flares.
The intense magnetic fields of sunspots cause archlike eruptions called?
Solar Flares.
What is the percentage of all the Moon's in our solar system that have had eruptions observed?
2 percent
The intense magnetic fields of sunspots cause arch-like eruptions is called a solar eclipse?
No. The large arch-like eruptions your thinking of are called solar flares. Eclipses are alignments of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. Sunspots are also different. Sunspots are areas on the Sun that are of a different colors that do cause magnetic interruptions of cell phone use, Internet, etc... Solar flares (Arch-like eruptions) cause changes in temperature and usually bring extreme heats.
Active magnetic eruptions that burst into space from the surface of the sun are called .?
solar flares.
Is there a pattern to these eruptions?
Volcanic eruptions can exhibit patterns such as clustering in certain time frames or following a series of smaller eruptions before a larger one. However, predicting eruptions based on pattern analysis alone remains challenging due to the complex and unpredictable nature of volcanic activity.
