How often is there an increase in sunspot activity?
every eleven years lol
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.
Sunspot activity and magnetic storms are related how?
There is a direct correlation between sunspot activity and magnetic storms on earth. At the height of the approximately 11-year cycle of sunspot activity, magnetic storms on earth are more intense and are of greater duration. The intensity of some storms requires a few satellites to be put into "sleep mode" to prevent damage. And the effects on things like the power grid are well documented natural phenomenon that is directly linked to sunspot activity.
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.
What did Walter maunder discover about sunspot activity in 1893?
came across the surprising fact that between 1645 and 1715 there was virtually no sunspot activity at all.
What characterized the Maunder minimum?
low sunspot activity
What occurs in a eleven year cycle?
The cycle of sunspot activity.
Where can someone monitor online news about sunspot activity?
Sunspot activity has been a common occurence now with today's technology being able to detect the sun's activity at a moment's notice. NASA and Space Weather are some examples of online sites that allow common folks like us to be able to view sunspot activity at the comfort of our homes.
What occurs in a eleven-year cycle in space?
The cycle of sunspot activity.
What is the number of years between periods of sunspot activity?
11 years
What does activity mean regards to medication taken orally?

How many years pass between a year of where there are many sunspots to the next period of lower amounts of sunspots?
Sunspot activity increases and decreases with a frequency of about eleven years from peak to peak, so there are about five and a half years from a period of highest sunspot activity to a period of lowest sunspot activity. The last peak was in 2001, so the next peak is expected in 2012.
How often is there an increase in sunspot activity?
every eleven years lol
Are the number of sunspots on the sun's surface always the same?
No, sunspot activity increases and decreases. Scientists have observed that the level of sunspot activity follows a cycle of about 11 years (11 years from maximum to maximum and 11 years from minimum to minimum).
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.
Why do some scientists think that sunspot activity affects global climate?
Because of the Solar Wind.
