Some scientist believe that sunspot activity may have an effect on the Earth's weather. Sunspots seem to occur in cycles of 11 years. Research has shown that major periods of drought have occurred roughly every 22 years, or two sunspot cycles. We have yet to discover the exact relationship between the two.

∙ 13y agobecause the area where sunspots are is a lot cooler
thus less heat reaches the earth, and the temperature drops significantly
eg. an area may be 30 degrees centigrade before, and 22-23 degrees when the sunspot is over the area

How do sunspots affect our communications systems?
The increase in sunspot activities solar flares are a result. They are extra bursts of electrically charged particles and x-rays.
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 significance of sunspot regions the sun?
A sunspot is a part of the Sun that is cooler, and therefore darker, than the surroundings.
Which factor does not affect weather on earth?
the soil does not affect the weather on Earth
What is the famous part of Jupiter?
the sunspot
How the sunspot affect the earth?
The primary affect on the Earth is on our ionosphere
What does sunspot cause?
They affect the magnitism
How does the sunspot cycle seem to influence life on earth?
Hh
What is the largest sunspot?
Prominence Sunspot in 1945
How do sunspots affect our communications systems?

What are sunspot maximums and sunspot minimums?
Sunspot maximum and sunspot minimum are the points in time (roughly 6 years apart) when the sun is producing the most, or the least sunspots. In the past this has been measured both by sunspot area and sunspot count and is directly tied to the solar magnetic cycle.
What is an example of a sunspot?
This question makes no sense. It's like asking "what is an example of a pencil?" A pencil is a pencil, and a sunspot is a sunspot.
How many years is the sunspot cycle?
The sunspot cycle is about 11 years in length.
How big is a large sunspot?
A Large Sunspot can be up to about 10,000 miles across.
What is affected by an increase in sunspot activity?
Sunspot activity affects radio communications. It can cause ionisation of the D and E layers of the ionosphere which allows High frequency radio waves to be bent back toward Earth, providing multiple hop communications.
