Sunspots are temporary disturbances in the sun's photosphere. They appear as black spots because they are significantly cooler areas cause by magnetic activity on the sun. They can be various sizes and move across the sun at various speeds before disappearing.
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.

They appear in the Photosphere. That's basically the "surface" of the Sun.

A sunspot is a region on the Sun's photosphere that is cooler and darker than the surrounding material. Sunspots often appear in pairs or groups with specific magnetic polarities that indicate electromagnetic origins.
Because the sunspots are cooler spots on the sun. They are much different from the rest of the sun so the appear really dark.
Prominances these are loops , Solar Flares these are matter ejections from the sun, and sunspots these are the darker cooler places on its surface
they are in the convective zone

Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the photosphere of the Sun that appear visibly as dark spots compared to surrounding regions. They correspond to concentrations of magnetic field that inhibit convection and result in reduced surface temperature compared to the surrounding photosphere.
They appear in the Photosphere. That's basically the "surface" of the Sun.
Even though sunspots are fiery white hot, they are somewhat cooler than the part of the Sun around them. When you inspect the Sun through a very dark filter (The only safe way) the Sun itself does not look very bright, and sunspots appear dark in comparison.
