Are sunspots most common during a sunspot minimum?
Sunspots are most common during a sunspot (solar magnetic) maximum, this occurs periodically, on an 11 year cycle.
Did changes in numder of sunspots affect earth in the distant past?
Probably so, and it still does today. We don't know the reason for the connection, but the weather is typically colder during times when the sunspot number is low for long periods. There have been two multi-decade long periods of very low sunspot activity, the Maunder Minimum and the Dalton Minimum. Each is associated with extended periods of unusually cold weather.
What is the minimum allowable voltage during load of 70 degrees Celsius?
There is no minimum
Includes prominence's and solar flares?
We're not sure, although this is a matter of intense study. We know that there is a correlation between low sunspot numbers and low solar activity, and we know that there is a correlation between high numbers of sunspots and high solar activity. We're pretty sure that one doesn't cause the other, but that both are caused by some other factor of which we are not yet aware. There have been two recorded periods in the last few hundred years during which there was a long spell of lower-than-normal sunspot activity, and these are named for the astronomers who noted them. These were called the "Maunder Minimum" and the "Dalton Minimum", and each was followed by a period of unusually cool weather. Here also, we're not sure what the relationship is, or if it was just coincidental.

What are uses of 6s maximum minimum thermometer?
Six's maximum and minimum thermometer is a popularthermometer . Its purpose is to recordthe maximum and minimum temperatures reached since the thermometer was last read. Generally speaking a minimum temperatureoccurs during the night and amaximumduring the day.. It is interesting to note that Six's maximum and minimum thermometers were still being used in 2000 of exactly the samedesign and construction as ones produced over 100 years ago. Gardeners use max-min thermometers in the greenhouse and the garden to check minimum temperatures during the cold months when frost can be a problem and to check the maximum temperature during the daytime.Gardeners use max-min thermometers in the greenhouse and the garden to check minimum temperatures during the cold months when frost can be a problem and to check the maximum temperature during the daytime.

How might the earth be affected by the activity of sunspots on the suns surface?
We're not sure why, but when there are very few sunspots during the 11-year "sunspot cycle", or when that cycle slows down, we experience colder than usual weather here on Earth. We've only been tracking sunspots for about 400 years; before then, nobody knew to look for them, or were able to. The sunspot cycle which began last year is Cycle 24. There have been two extended periods of few or no sunspots; one was the Maunder Minimum, from 1645 to 1715, and the Dalton Minimum, from 1790 to 1830. The Maunder Minimum coincides with a period known as the "Little Ice Age", and during the Dalton Minimum the recorded temperatures were perhaps 2-3 degrees below normal. Periods of increased sunspot activities appear to be associated with slightly higher than normal temperatures.

What is a Maunder object?
A "Manunder Object" could be a sunspot occurring during the Maunder Minimum. The Maunder Minimum is the name given to the period roughly spanning 1645 to 1715 by John A. Eddy in a landmark 1976 paper published in Science titled "The Maunder Minimum", when sunspots became exceedingly rare, as noted by solar observers of the time. Astronomers before Eddy had also named the period after the solar astronomer Edward W. Maunder (1851-1928) who studied how sunspot latitudes changed with time.
Do solar eruptions have a pattern?
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 is one of the most amazing things in Antarctica?
I would probably have to say, and others may agree, Is the Aurora Australis or "Southern Lights" in the night sky over Antarctica, which usually occur during a sunspot cycle. It is a breath taking experience.
What happens during years of high sunspot activity?
The sun eats up more and more hydrogen
