They occur because of the sun has some spots on it that are slightly colder than the other areas of the sun. If we were to go to the sun, we would barely notice the sunspots. They are as big as a city and sometimes as big as earth itself. Sunspots produce solar flares which fling into space and then crash with the earth's magnetic field and go to the north and south. Most of the charged particles don't make it all of the way, though. The particles produce the aurora borealis also known as the northern lights.
