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.

Do sunspots occur on the surface of the sun?
What is true about sunspots
Which layer of the sun do sunspots occur?
They appear in the Photosphere. That's basically the "surface" of the Sun.
What are sunspots caused by?
Sunspots are areas of magnetic disturbance on the surface of the Sun, resulting in a comparatively cooler and less bright region of the photosphere.
Are sunspots hotter or colder regions of the sun?
No, sunspots are cooler than the photosphere.
Which layer of the sun do sunspots occur on?
I believe that the layer in which sun spots occur would be the chromosphere. The chromosphere is the second layer in the sun's atmosphere and is about 2,000km above the photosphere(the first layer).

Describe the characteristics of sunspots?
A sunspot is a region on the Sun's photosphere that is cooler and darker than the surrounding material. Sunspots often appear in pairs or groups with specific magnetic polarities that indicate electromagnetic origins.
What part of the sun does storm clouds occur in?
I assume you are talking about sunspots, as they are, in effect, "storms on the sun". They occur on or near the sun's surface.

Are sunspots hotter or colder regions of the sun?
No, sunspots are cooler than the photosphere.
Which pairs both occur as storm events on the suns surface coronas and prominences or sunspots and glowing gases or prominences and glowing gases or sunspots and prominences?
Sun spots and prominences.
Which layer of the sun do sunspots occur on?
I believe that the layer in which sun spots occur would be the chromosphere. The chromosphere is the second layer in the sun's atmosphere and is about 2,000km above the photosphere(the first layer).
Sunspots are temporary disturbances in the sun's .?
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.

Does the sun have sunspots?
yes
Where are Mercury sunspots?
in the sun
