How long does it take a sunspot to disappear on the sun?

It varies, individual suspots can last anything from a day or so, up to 100 days or so.


How would you describe the way sunspot activity changes over the decades and centuries?

We do not yet have a good understanding of the way that sunspot activity changes. We've only been keeping track of sunspots since the early 1600s. In general, sunspot activity increases and decreases in a cycle that is approximately 11 years long. But the cycle isn't particularly stable; for example, the previous cycle, Solar Cycle 23, lasted for closer to 13 years and the current Solar Cycle 24 has been fairly low in activity. This may have long-term significance in our weather here on Earth; twice in the last 4 centuries, we've seen extended periods of very low sunspot activity, and both periods have been associated with unusually cold weather. Some scientists fear that the current sunspot deficit may be a prelude to a new period of cooler-than-normal weather.


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.

How many years is the period of the sunspot?

Individual sunspots can appear and disappear in a single day, or even in just a few hours. On the other hand, some sunspots that disappear as the Sun spins will re-appear 15 days later when the spot becomes visible again. The "sunspot cycle" is typically about 11 years long from peak to peak, but the pattern isn't especially constant. Some cycles take as little as 8 to 9 years, while some stretch out for 15-17 years.


How long are sunspots cycles?

Sunspot 'cycles' are at approximately 11-year intervals.


How long is the average sunspot cycle?

The average length of the sunspot cycle is 11 years. Some cycles are double peaked, which makes it difficult to determine when one ends and when another one begins.


Which solar phenomenon appears in 10- to 12- year cycles?

The sunspot cycle is about 11 years long. This can vary somewhat; the current cycle has had an extended minimum with very few sunspots for about 3 years, and even now the sunspot numbers are very low for this point in the cycle.

Which is the smallest sunspot?

Sunspots are a temporary phenomenon lasting between hours and months, theoretically they could be very small, far smaller than the resolution of any of our cameras. But no one sunspot could be named as the smallest as they don't last long enough to be named.
