The surface temperature of the sun is about 5,780 K, which is 5,500 °C or about 9900 °F, while at the core it's something on the order of 15 million °C or 27 million °F.

Edit:
Sunspots can appear near the Sun's equator, but also at higher latitudes. Sunspots appear in cycles with the higher latitude spots appearing first.

What is another name for a sunspots?
Sunspots are dark circles on the sun's surface that are cooler than the area surrounding it. Another name for a sunspot is a solar variation or a dark spot.
What is the definition of sunspot maximum?
The number of sunspots on the Sun seems to fluctuate in an 11-year cycle. When the sunspot cycle is at its maximum, the Sun is typically covered with sunspots. The last "Solar Max" occurred in 2002.We are currently at the "Solar Minimum"; there are very few sunspots. Strangely, the cycle was expected to start rising a year ago, but the Sun seems to be in an extended calm period. In fact, for over 200 days so far this year, there have been no sunspots at all!You can keep track of the sunspot number and see daily photos of the Sun at spaceweather.com.
What makes sunspots different from the rest of the surface of the sun?
They are colder - by about 1200 degrees Celsius - than the rest of the Sun.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------They are darker because they are relatively cooler than the surrounding area. They are cooler because where a sunspot happens tightly bunched together magnetic field lines poke out of the surface of the Sun. This region of intense magnetic activity, inhibits convection motion and thus less heat is welling up from the Sun's interior.
What does a sun spot look like?
Sunspots are regions on the solar surface that appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding photosphere, typically by about 1500 K (thus, they are still at a temperature of about 4500 K, but this is cool compared to the rest of the photosphere). They are only dark in a relative sense; a sunspot removed from the bright background of the Sun would glow quite brightly. Some sunspots are as large as 50,000 miles across, and they move across the surface of the sun, contracting and expanding as they go. The sun has a magnetic field that is twisted around inside the Sun as it spins. There are places on the sun where this magnetic field rises up from below the sun's surface and pokes through, creating sunspots. Sunspots are magnetic and often have a north and south pole like a magnet. They come and go over the surface of the Sun and last from a few days to a few weeks. The period of time between maximum outbreaks of sunspots is about 9 to 14 years, with an average of 11 years. A link can be found below.
How long do sunspots last for?
Sunspots are as long as your dick or vag
Sunspots sit on the suns what?
Sunspots sit on the sun's photosphere. The photosphere is the surface of the sun, and sunspots are dark regions on it that are visible. The photosphere's average temperature is about 5800 degrees Kelvin.
What visible evidence do you have that the sun has a convection zone?
Sunspots and convection cells
What are sun spots and how are they formed?
Sunspots are dark spots visible on the sun that are caused by intense magnetic activity and causes the area where the sunspots are seen to cool the temperature at that area.
Dark parts on the sun are?
Dark spots on the sun that are visible with the naked eye at sunrise/sunset are sunspots, which are cold areas caused by the sun's magnetic field.
Why do sunspots look small but are big?
Sunspots only look small in relationship to the size of the Sun itself. Even a "small" sunspot, hardly visible, is as big around as the Earth is.
Visible dark spots on the sun are called?
We call them sunspots, but dark and cool are relative terms. A sunspot is dark only relative to the surrounding solar surface, but still intensely bright compared to your common household light bulb. It's cooler than the surrounding solar material, but still hot enough to vaporize a spaceship and anyone inside it in a fraction of a second.
What are the most prominent visible features on the sun?
A. Sunspots B. Solar Prominences C. Auroras D. Coronal holes
Are sunspots hotter or colder regions of the sun?
No, sunspots are cooler than the photosphere.
Do sunspots occur on the surface of the sun?
What is true about sunspots
Where on the sun are sunspots visible?
No, they are two different things. A sun spot is a cooler spot on the sun and a hot spot is a violent explosion
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.
What are Dark spots seen on the sun are called?
Sunspots. Do not look at the sun directly. You will be blinded. Answer 2: They are called Sun's dark spots. The new study reports that Sun's dark spots seem to form when uranium fission lifts away a large chunk of Sun's core material along with fission fragments into nuclear fallout. A large crater formed at the site of fission appears as Sun's dark spot since no emission takes place from the site, while the remaining Sun's disk show very low intensity at Bharat Radiation, UV and visible light wavelengths.
